[ICANN-EU] Re: IPC letter to TLD applicants

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

James and all,

  It would seem reasonable to me anyway that the strongest reply that is
possible and well reasoned should be sent to ccdn@smithandmetalitz.com
as soon as possible...

  The other thing I found interesting is that we now have at least some
evidence of where Kent Crispins loyalties really lie, as if many of us
already didn't know.... (Referencing of course the Links for background
for this letter to songbird.com).
