There was a practical step encouraged/offered by Alejandro; which was his arranging a meeting for Parminder/IGCers with root zone operators.

That could possibly be fruitful.

Norbert,

This for me a is a worrying development. While we disagree, and perhaps
I was to rash with Curran who has always been pleasant, Curran and
Conrad do provide inputs that are valuable. Is it possible for you to
categorise some of the differences as you did previously so that we do
not loose these important interactions on the list.

At times I share Conrads sentiments - as I am sure also Parminder would:
having to explain and refine his submissions of CIR repeatedly etc, as
Conrad feels - and this is an important divergence that needs to be
"cultivated" without taking hostages...

Please feel free (without your coord hat on) to guide me if you feel
this is inappropriate.

For me there are a number of reasons that stand in the way of
Parminder-type proposals that may aid categorisation, that I hope you
can "neutralise":

1. Lack or no technical details
2. Political feasibility
3. Policy targetted at wrong political/policy entity
4. Perversity
5. Jeopardy
6. Futility (often referred to as political realism - or it will not fly)

I say this in the spirit of those who cared to comment on IT4C
submission of TLDs, who were frank and open, even if we could not agree.

Hope you can ride this wave...
