[BNM] 123-reg

Mon Nov 19 15:13:17 GMT 2007

Happy to tag along and serve as a sounding board if nothing else.

I'm pretty loaded up at the moment, so can't say I'll be able to get
involved, but always very happy to discuss new ideas with like-minded
people.

Let me know. Can't do Tuesday.

Regards,

Richard.

I think Richard Maynard would be a good guy to have along. He seems to
know his dns rather well.
