===DNSO Transition=== | |||
Mr. Roessler was the chair of the DNSO when it disbanded, following the membership renunciation of the [[ccTLD]] managers that resulted in the creation of the [[ccNSO]] and the DNSO's replacement, the [[GNSO]]. In his farewell email, Thomas wrote, ""At some point of time between 9:10 and 9:40 a.m. Amsterdam time on Sunday [15 December 2002], the DNSO ceased to be (and will, perhaps not unlike a phoenix from the ashes, become the GNSO).." His entire farewell email can be found [http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc11/msg01325.html here]. | |||
