All, Again regarding the GNSO improvements report and as a matter of Internet stability and security for users, it recently came to my attention and today was outlined on Slasdot that the .EDU registry managed by Educause.net who's DNS is horribly mis configured, see: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=educause.net&token=052026b... and who's sole source contract granted by DOC/NTIA some years ago now has a domain name, pi.edu that is not CHEA accredited institution which is a contracted requirement of the .EDU registry agreement. Seems to me this gives members of the public, especially users a false recognition of this "Organization" as a accredited educational institute. It is not. Nor is the Association of Christian Schools and Colleges (ACSC). This seems perilously close to suborning fraud. Further still a recent practice, that of "Marketing .EDU" has come to the attention of informed users and other members of the public. See:http://www.conversationmarketing.com/2008/04/linkadage-selling-edu-blog-spac... and http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=08/04/15/2228250 It would seem to me and many of our members whom originally reported this, as a significant hood winking of the public that needs addressing soon. respecful regards, Spokesman for INEGroup LLA. - (Over 281k members/stakeholders strong!)
