Re: [nc-udrp] UDRP Task Force Resurrection

["J. Scott Evans" <jse@adamspat.com>]

Michael:

I am disappointed to hear we will not have the benefit of your input later
today.  I am sorry to hear about your wife and wish you both the best.

Do not fret too terribly.  Today's call is more to organize the tasks that
lay before us than to make any serious advances toward reaching consensus on
the substantive aspects of our job.  I hope to have further calls and
generate more on-line discussions to allow the group to flesh out the meat
of our job.

All the best.

J. Scott
