Hi Benno,

So it seems to me that the question of adoption is the same as the question for 
whether this domain should be added to the Special-Use Domain Name registry.

I do not believe this domain fits the criteria for that registry, and therefore 
think it should not be added. I will spare the list my handwaving on why I 
think that, but any masochists in the audience are welcome to endure the 
archives to find out more.

For this reason I do not support adoption of this document by this working 
group.


Joe
