still working hard (although down to a very small group of people) on some
fundamental principles that still have to work out (like who these rules would

appropriate for the ISPCP executive to add their support to this letter. A
number of times during the Brussels meeting I heard ISPs making the point that
further delays to the gTLD program would not be supported, so there is a
balance to strike. Certainly if its argued that the issues around malicious
conduct are still unresolved, then effectively we are accepting the need for
additional delay.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
