I don't understand how are you so certain what 
the USG wants? Besides, you are arguing with me 
only, because I am the only director writing in 
this mailing list. If I remember correctly all 
the board, with one exception, voted for this JPA.
I can understand your frustration from many 
facts, but the fact is the MoU is over, and the 
JPA is not the MoU in new clothes - regardless of 
what you say. Problem with opinions, based on 
asumptions, is that once you form them, you can't 
stop defending them. There's nothing wrong in 
being wrong. There's something wrong when you can't admit you're wrong.
My reading of the MoU, including the point of the 
Whois, is the same as the reading of the European 
Commission. It may be due to the fact that I am 
an European, and you are an American. It seems like a cross-cultural issue.

In anycase, the language of Mrs. Reding is more 
clear to me, than many of the wording here, esp. 
when people start to interprete them. It seems 
you say one thing, but you mean something different.
