Joanna and all,

  Good point here Joanna.

  Maybe now the ICANNATLARGE.COM Joop-Pinder show
will get on the road and head to Washington DC?  Oppps I forgot
that takes $$ which ICANNATLARGE.COM is a bit short of
at the moment....  Well it was just a thought...

  I will be in Washington DC for short time doing some "Special
visiting..."  If ICANNATLARGE.COM's Interim Committee
or members have something specific for me to "Pass along",
as they say, please outline them specifically in something
comprehensive, as Marilyn Cade would say, as soon as
possible...  >;)
