Overview.
There is a need for a nonbiased forum to discuss a
meeting to create an organization for the management
of Top Leve Domains. There are several other email
lists [see below] dedicated to the general discussion
of TLDs but there is none specificly oriented with
creating a forum as specified in the NTIA White Paper.
It is the hope of the list maintainer to provide
a forum oriented in the gathering of consensus on
a meeting place/time, its agenda, funding, and
participants.
