Jeff, The article provided for your reference pointed to continued issues with regard to transfers. Front-running is a separate matter, which contrary to your claims has not been discontinued. For reference please see this article posted just two days ago -- http://blogs.computerworld.com/forward/7217/email_ref You may also choose to refer to the extensive commentary on the topic at Slashdot posted yesterday -- see http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/15/2121200 and for another twist on NetSol matters, look at http://www.entlawdigest.com/(S(renb53v3amsve145v0aa4r55))/LawReport/ViewRepo... which states: "A federal class action claims Network Solutions makes its customersÂ’ private email messages publicly available on the Internet through common search engines such as Google, in violation of state and federal laws." While the entire world it seems is talking about NetSol's abusive practices (including the ICANN Board -- see http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-23jan08.htm), the ALAC, in its role as the "voice of the individual Internet users" has absolutely nothing to say on the topic... no policy recommendations, no request for an issues report, no request for a PDP, no request to ICANN Staff for feedback as to whether NetSol practices constitute a violation of the RAA -- instead, the ALAC appears to be either totally clueless or horribly irresponsible -- but what can you really expect from a bunch of people that are just pretending to be the at-large so that they can continue to milk the ICANN cash cow? If they really were the at-large, we would have heard their outrage about these situations... instead all we hear are their ongoing requests for even more money while registrants receive no assistance whatsoever from their "Voice" within ICANN. --- "Jeffrey A.

Danny and all my friends,
It is clear that NSOL is, or was involved in Front Running seemingly to thwart Domain Name Tasting. However as we know, this was admitted on the GA list by a NSOL employee. However after some public exposier by several GA members expressing a strong desire for NSOL to discontnue this practice for obvious good reasons, NSOL subsequently for the time being, discontinued this errant and disgusting practice.
