ICANN closes barn door after 13 years
by Garth Bruen at Knujon.com June 6, 2011

Folks, Kevin Murphy is reporting that "ICANN has introduced background checks for companies applying for accreditation." "Introduced" as in: never been done before. I was under the impression they always did this, but it explains why there are so many rogue Registrars. It supports the contention that they have not been properly vetting Registrars from the get go. http://domainincite.com/icann-tries-to-limit-rogue-registrars/ -Garth ------------------------------------- Garth Bruen http://www.knujon.com http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/149/724 Linkedin Group: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1870205 Blog: http://www.circleid.com/members/3296/ Twitter: @Knujon Shop: http://www.cafepress.com/knujon Bookstore: http://astore.amazon.com/knujocom-20

Re: [NA-Discuss] Length of At-Large Comment Periods

Evan made a useful intervention in noting the structural enablers for Danny's well-founded critique. And thanks to Alan, the rational context in which this is best evaluated was advanced. IMHO and to bounce the rubble, there are two issues that invite some focus if we are to address what Danny so unerringly identified. Assuming the ALAC shall remain a voluntary organisation and with most of us serving having real day jobs to make a living. And if the policy advice output is to be of high quality and retain the respect of the community: 1) The workload shall remain a challenge to manage if a few work hard while the majority remain hardly working. 2) Underscore a need for the ALAC to cut its coat to suit the cloth and cherry-pick issues we feel compelled to respond to. It is increasingly the ALAC Ex-Com (and co-opted Alan) that is now carrying the workload. And this is not a sustainable action.
