Re: [Gendispatch] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-halpern-gendispatch-antitrust-01.txt

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

Finding the right balance on the wording of this issue is something I 
expect the discussion once dispatched will need to do.

 From what the lawyers tell me, I believe this kind of discussion does 
head towards incurring significant risks.  So having guidelines that 
help us stay on the right side of that seems desirable to me.

Yours,
Joel
