Long over due

[Bill Darte]

Yeah, I think the issues you raise ("who we are and what we 
 do" document)probably fit squarely in the center of how the Internet
technology is managed...ICANN on down...and then what are Registries and why
we need them...and how ISPs are agents of the registries and how address
consumers have a role in conservation through good
planning/assignments..e.g. VLSM etc.
