Hi Frank,<br>
<br>
Please see attached the org-type description.<br>
We need the working groups confirmation on whether to proceed to disable the ones that are not applicable as described in the document.<br>
Once the above is confirmed, next step will be to update these in the WHOIS so that they are visible when queried with "-v organisation”.<br>
<br>
Regards;<br>

could you please post this in plain text. some of us don’t click on random attachments (and it’s bad faith for you to propagate that notion ..)<br>
(i did run this through strings, but i want to be sure that what i read, was actually that which was published, before commenting)<br>
