<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I trust everyone has had a good and peaceful summer! Now it's back to the action! Tomorrow Wednesday is a big day! Not only is the Senate having its hearing on IANA (I'll cover that in a separate mail) but, also in Washington DC, top DNS industry players from the Europe, NorthAmerica ,and Latin America will be coming together to hash out some hard topics. When both are on late morning it will be like football Sunday for DNS freaks! But, these issues affect us all so we should pay attention. One has to admire the way the DNS Forum postpones its final session til the following day, just so that everyone will be fresh.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br><br><u></u>
