For those of you following CZDS, you may find it interesting that today the= ICANN org added the .gov TLD to the list of zone files available for reques= t in the CZDS system.

Cool. I see they also auto-approve and auto-renew, too. Why, it's almost like the olden days. Now if only you could get .VOTING and .DESI to do what their contracts require. I see the total number that .VOTING has approved is 4, which tells us they've been blowing off CZDS for years now. R's, John
