[Ltru] Re: [psg.com #881] status? last call?



Hi Doug -

The technical content of your message pertains to issue #881, the
request to remove registrant information from the registry.  This
was rejected long ago; there's no need to belabor the point.  Let's
wrap up the open issues instead.  If you feel compelled to address
an issue already closed, please include the issue number in the subject.
That helps me sort through things more quickly, which will help bring
us all to last call sooner.

Randy
