In terms of domain disputes, yes it has been quiet.  But there has been 
real change in the industry, and very many other issues that need exposure 
(such as within the competitive registrar model).

And the name of our group is Domain Issues, not Domain Disputes, afterall.

For any evolters who don't know what we are talking about here, head over 
to www.domain-issues.org (and also www.toywar.com and www.etoys-sucks.com 
to see what originally drove us to action).

Definitely.  I've been periodically reminded of that stasis DI is in, and 
each time it has disappointed me.  It is a matter of finding the time to 
make the system work.  Our intended structure is so similar to that of 
evolt's upcoming revamp that it makes sense to wait for the evolt code.


HOWEVER I would like to get things moving in the mean time.  I propose 
doing it all manually.  Yep, that's right, manually.  I will personally 
edit a bunch of static .shtml files, until the CF/Oracle stuff is working.


Whatcha all say?


Oliver.
