top-down? - Re: [AfrICANN-discuss] Comments on .xxx

[Dr Yassin Mshana]

Mawaki, Paulos and Mwangi,

Thank you for your Management statements - I for one, I can not agree more
with you. Your suggestions are very good to me as the end-end-User. NO to
.xxx as a sTLD or in any other form at global level.

I am pleased to read that Mawaki mentioned about  "Interest" for how long
has this .xxxx engaged the global community in this discussion? Mnay hours
have been spent on this issue and I think it is time to down tools - I think
so.....

Cheers

Yassin
