[Comment-Dnso] Re: ISP Constituency DNSO
You are certainly allowed to make public comments, and indeed you are doing
so now. Thank you! We will post them for you. We hope you will send a
representative to the meeting in Berlin, as well.

This allows them time to hold elections to Names Council representatives
before they have to accept anybody.
