Folks, I have read through the compliance presentation from yesterday and as you might imagine I am concerned that it does not address multiple issues raised by myself in June 2010 (http://www.knujon.com/knujon_audit0610.pdf). As many of you are aware we were promised a written response but never received one. Instead of re-hashing the previous report in its entirety, I have simply sent 4 easily addressed items to ICANN compliance with a request for response: 1. Registrars with apparent or obvious Contact Address on their website: “3.16 Registrar shall provide on its web site its accurate contact details including a valid email and mailing address (http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/ra-agreement-21may09-en.htm).” Active Registrar, Inc.
