Copied from the GA list: All, It seems that NSI (NetworkSolutions) has temporarily ceased its front running practice. This is a result of my own research and tests I have performed on their registration site during today. As far as I know there are no further information on this available on the Internet yet. In my personal opinion, this cessation is a reaction on public outrage presented by Wendy Seltzer at Special Meeting of the ICANN Board of Directors held on 27 March 2008 where further evidence about front running was desired to gather. See http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-27mar08.htm, section "11. Other Business". I think there are two reasons for doing so. Not to foment the public outrage during these days and to preclude further investigation and gathering the evidence. Much like our Tasting Trinity does. No one knows how long this waiting game will take. Perhaps tomorrow or in few days the practice starts flourishing again. Dominik Additional note from Danny -- SSAC's Steve Crocker has shared his views on the front-running topic in a letter to the GNSO Council chair -- see http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg04920.html ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
