Danny and all, Why am I not surprised... This is a sad comentary and clearly shows that perhaps NSOL tail is wagging the dog, ICANN. IMO NO registry should be allowed to have this sort of power or control. It's bad policy, plain and simple! It MAY also be a restraint of trade legal issue.... This is an area where DOC/NTIA needs to step in and make a correction reversal of this sort of nonsense... Danny Younger wrote:
