[governance] NTIA announcement on JPA

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I don't think it was me putting 50 USD on the table.

Then again i think McBush is going win no matter which of Frick or  
Frack wins the Democratic nomination.  but I will buy you a pizza and  
a beer (wouldn't wine be better?) if the US frees ICANN from the JPA  
in 2009.  Not a bet, just a celebration.
