Independent Technical Review Panel

In this letter: http://www.icann.org/correspondence/lewis-to-twomey-21sep03.htm Verisign CEO, Paul Twomey, makes the following claim: We have also formed an independent technical review panel to gather and analyze data for the purpose of assessing any operational impact of our wildcard implementation. The technical review panel will consist of leading experts in the field. Is he lying about this? If not, where is this panel and who is on it? --Michael Dillon
