Endorsing American Red Cross' Comments on VI Initial Report

[Milton L Mueller]

The only problem with a "full" endorsement by NCSG is that it might imply that Debbie's comments address the _only_ issues we care about as NCSG. There are a broad range of other issues her comments don't address. 

We might solve this by attaching to our endorsement the following proviso:

"The NSCG is deeply concerned about a number of issues raised by the VI WG. Lacking the time to develop a more complete statement touching on all those issues, we fully support the comments of the American Red Cross on the issue of exceptions for Single-Registrant, Single-User TLD applications, and their comments regarding criteria for an exceptions procedure."
