Another May 16th has rolled around, and now I finally understand. You know, 42, Deep Thought's answer to life, the universe, and everything? I have reached the age of enlightenment. Celebration tonight at Dodger Stadium. I hope the team knows they're expected to win.

The comment period on the Strategic Plan, version 7.3, has been extended until Friday, May 20th.

Glen de Saint Géry, GNSO Secretariat: "Please find attached an excerpt from the draft minutes of the GNSO Council meeting held on May 12, 2005 where it was agreed to post the Council discussion on dot Net to the ICANN public comment forum."

Dotster Promotion: "We're giving away domain names every day. Visit us today for your chance to win. In fact, visit us every day - there's no limit to the number of times you can win." I guess I still don't understand the domain name industry very well. A domain name only has value to me when I want to use it to identify a host, and my need for a new domain probably doesn't coincide with a domain name promotion very often. Which suggests to me that I'm not the typical domain name consumer.
