well, no. the number of signatures is smaller, so far, than the number of statements of intent. surprise. you might choose to dismiss the latter, but I for one do not. True, they might change their mind, but most companies are quite careful about these statements of intent and reversing such a decision tends to be embarassing to them, so they avoid it. I don't remember the full list of who has signed, or who has stated intent. Among the set, in any event, are Deutsche Telecomm, WIDE, APNIC. Several ISOC chapters, too. INTA (trademark attorneys) also. The total that we've listed so far is probably half of the actual number. The public listing of these will no doubt come up to date over the next week. As Hank says, it's tough to keep the list current... d/ -------------------- Dave Crocker +1 408 246 8253 Brandenburg Consulting fax: +1 408 249 6205 675 Spruce Dr. dcrocker@brandenburg.com Sunnyvale CA 94086 USA http://www.brandenburg.com Internet Mail Consortium http://www.imc.org, info@imc.org
