Then I ask our Adcom members to add the CEDRP as an emergency item 
for discussion during the next NC meeting?

There must be space on the agenda as everyone seems to agree that the 
GA chair item is a silly formality (including the names council 
chair.)  Quite a few NC members were more than a little put out when 
Verisign contract negotiations bypassed the DNSO, this seems no less 
of a slight.

Thanks,

Adam
