And what will be the ultimate result of all of that following your scenario? Carry on! don't leave the suspense in the middle point. On 27/02/2008, Jeffrey A. Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com> wrote:
John and all,
In the ICANN-NSOL relationship, it's who's the dog and who's the tail, if you catch my drift. Right now and for some time, it seems NSOL is the dog wagging the ICANN tail. That's backwards, IMHO. But you can bet NSOL is going to put up a hell of a fight.
What ICANN has to decide is whether it's going to fight with NSOL or seek to weasel out from underneath. My guess is that ICANN will fold and eventually plead for mercy from the court so that none of the Board members have to pay any penalties to registrants out of their personal pockets.
In any event, sooner or later the worm turns...

I checked PACER, the systems that US courts use to manage case documents, and this case hasn't even been entered yet. Until we can see what the complaint says, one can't tell what NetSol and ICANN are alleged to be doing.
On the other hand, we can certainly decry NetSol's admitted frontrunning as yet another anti-consumer abuse that ICANN's ill-considered AGP enables.
