<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">3 – my colleague Nick Wood is vice–chair of the marques Cyberspace team and I’m a member of the CITMA committee so we can assist with distribution to those groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 me to be the most diverse target group, provided that they do not self-select who they contact – although, I agree that they may be unwilling to do this.  Contacting some specific registrars to get their buy-in would seem to be the best hope (rather than going
 via the RrSG)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
