[governance] US Congrerss & JPA

[Joe Baptista]

You are right Karl - what is important is to prevent collisions. That was at
one time to be the job of the TLDA - the organization who's email address
your using.

Unfortunately the TLDA has ended up being a joke and a significant failure
in the eyes of it's own membership. When I bootstrapped the TLDA two years
ago with you we had over 30 members. Today you have five left.

I point these difficult facts out to you in case anyone mistakes your
comments for informed commentary. It is difficult to be considered informed
when the organization one represent is a failure.

cheers
