in several activities dealing with 'user's rights'. Please try to search for.

The company I work for is not as large as needed. AFAIK I#m not a member of
a lobby organisation driving the approbriate SO. (But proposals for

It should work stable and query only for possible changes. Nobody will
follow a dumb ICANN decision.
