Ok I agree with waiting at least one week to submit any comments. TE, do we go with proposing a defintion of unlawful internet gambling or not. Your proposed comments seem to vary on this stratedgy.
Also, we could not actually defined the term unlawful internet gambling but submit some proposed examples as follows.

1. Accepting, receiving or otherwise knowingly transmitting a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet a bet or wager that involves, or is related to, a sporting event or sporting contest, except for horse racing, is unlawful internet gambling in every state.

2. Accepting, receiving or otherwise knowingly transmitting a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet a bet or wager that does not involve, or is not related to, a sporting event or sporting contest, such as the card game of poker, any casino game, or the game of backgammon is not unlawful internet gambling in the state in which the bank resides unless, by state statute, that state expressly prohibits all gambling by use of the Internet or that state expressly prohibits gambling or playing the specified game that the bet or wager involves or relates.

Later I will post some full proposed comments for review. I will not submit any comments until TE or D$D approve them. We need to have a leader in our effort and I propose TE and/or D$D because they seem to understand politics and this process.
