Re: [atlarge-discuss] Act now -- Your privacy is at risk

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Danny and all stakeholders of other interested parties and members,

  Danny is quite right here!  ICANNATLARGE.COM needs to get
busy on this issue as it has a direct effect on every stakeholder/user,
and especially Domain Name holders.  If however ICANNATLARGE.COM
cannot put forth it's own collective position on this, than I would strongly
suggest that each member do so independently ASAP...
