Martin,
I wasn't that impressed with Dave's remarks, but I heard them rather
than read them, which may have made a difference. I agree with your
views on the substance and spirit of Susan's and Wendy's statements.
This -- the new GTLD process -- was originally scheduled to get to
completion in 2003 and 2004 -- after the initial 2000 round.

I think that this is a good read as well, especially the comments by Dave Wodeley, Susan Crawford, and Wendy Seltzer.
