[registrars] FW: Letter from Paul Twomey regarding ICANN strategic planning process

[Marcus Faure]

Bruce,

I do not think I have to stress the importance of the pending .net issue 
another time.
@Bhavin: Can you put this into whatever formal frame so that we get things
moving?

Marcus


I believe that Carthago has to be destroyed
