Because of the pending IPO, the InterNIC is in a 90 day quiet period. Even if they have hired a PR person/group/agency, that entity couldn't really do their job until after the IPO. I believe that this is an SEC regulation. ____________________________________________ Wayne D. Correia tel:415-826-6000 http://www.domain.net fax:415-826-6100
