This is apples and oranges though, really, isn't it? Every example below relates to another constituency. On 01/03/07, Danny Younger <dannyyounger@yahoo.com> wrote:

I guess that depends on who you talk to:

(1) The registerfly.com debacle has already resulted in 75,000 domain name registrations that weren't processed in January owing to fraud and mismanagement. http://icann.org/correspondence/registerfly-notice-of-breach-21feb07.pdf

(2) The Chair of the Registrars Constituency has revealed that ICANN has never implemented registrant data escrow protection by failing to provide a schedule, terms, and format for data escrow. http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/ga/msg06000.html

(3) GNSO Councilor Sophia Bekele has reported that two prominent domain name resellers have been denied membership in the GNSO Business Constituency (which they viewed as the necessary conduit that would allow for full participation in the GNSO IDN Working Group). These firms are Regtime of Russia and Karmania Media (Iran). The sordid details are at http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg03256.html

(4) The NCUC posts a press release describing ICANN as the Net's Word Police. http://www.bloggernews.net/14882

(5) The Eurid Registry (.eu) finds it necessary to create a Registrar Code of Conduct; Eurid will establish a platform to better log the flood of complaints against registrars (this is after having sued 400 registrars for breach of contract and having earlier suspended 74,000 domains). http://www.eurid.eu/images/Documents/CoC/code_of_conduct_en.pdf

For those who don't already know this, the African ALS Community finished their MoU with ICANN and it went off to the Office of the General Counsel late last week.

The European ALS community will also be meeting in Lisbon and are committed to finishing work on their MoU and Bylaws there - making three (!) new RALOs at one ICANN Meeting.

Congratulations on all the hard work :) February has turned out to be a good month for the At-Large community :)
