your first thoughts on this.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=406142715-08122008>My concern about
"GNSO flexibility" as you put it is that the flexibility at present is
100% in the users house!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=406142715-08122008>There is zero
flexibility in the contract parties house.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

between users and the three types i mentioned are a direct parallel to the
contract parties.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=406142715-08122008>Can you provide an
example of a new constituency for the contract parties house (that is not
a splinter group) ?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
