...this very issue created my Damascene moment....and precipitated my withdrawal from the role as member of the At-Large's Objection Evaluation Team. In the first place, I was unconvinced that the [AGB] rules as existed even provided standing to the At-Large for objection. Then when the attempts to attach robust PICs ended in failure and the specs that emerged were such that I referred them as not worth a warm bucket of spit, I knew the jig was up. Here's the thing. While I might detest faith healers for example, I am hardpressed to see where I have business - certainly in this dispensation - aiding, abetting or to cause discomfit to them and other regular charlatans. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 1:19 PM, Karl Auerbach <karl@cavebear.com> wrote:
Just a note about this ongoing conversation: We ought to remember that names in the Domain Name System are used for purposes beyond just mapping names of World Wide Web websites.
The internet is a lot more than the web, and names in a TLD can be used for lots of things beyond mapping websites.
One might wonder whether TLD operators will be careful to observe or police these other uses. My own guess is that many TLD operators will not.
