Agreed, supporting the historic AdNA / ICANN Internet-consultative-management model is wise, and imho we now need some (many) important decisions / announcements rwt advancing our basic world Internet structures.

As established in emails with Stewart :) <http://www.stephen.hm> (Heard and McDonald Islands, a research station and an Australian Protectorate), and, <http://stephen.ws> (Western Samoa, a U.S. Protectorate) are nominally mine, currently registered second level country-code domains, and fully visable.

Aloha Steve,

I just checked the URL and it is working OK now. I also checked with our 
tech support folks and they weren't aware of any problems at the time of 
your email.  Nevertheless, would you please try it again. We've extended 
the conference registration deadline for the regular fee ($30) so we hope 
that you'll be able to take advantage of it.

If you encounter problems, please send an email message to Diane Goo 
dgoo@hawaii.edu and we will work out something for you. Thanks for your
interest in our conference.

Aloha, 
-bert
