Paul - a general question about TF1.

Why is the TF focused on specific technical solutions instead of 
desired policy outcomes? No good can come from a technical solution 
specified by a policy committee.

Personally, I have a very big problem with the direction of this TF 
and am very concerned that it has gone a long way down the wrong path.

I strongly recommend that our submission takes a strong position on 
this point. Promoting diversity and competition are key components of 
ICANN's mission. Developing and promoting technical implementations 
are not.

If TF1 is developing requirements that are going to be fed into a 
technical implementation, then that is very much a different thing - 
and if it is, we should recognize it as being different and move 
forward on *those* terms.
