Hi all, Many of you have commented on the verisign batch pool issue and orignal mails by some of us. I myself had overlooked certain aspects - as have been pointed out by Paul and Jordyn. It is therefore essential to try and first list objectives and then test any possible solution against those objectives For me the objectives are as follows PRIMARY OBJECTIVES ================== - Any proposed solution should solve the phantom creds issue - If indeed Verisign is impacted by the batch pool pounding, then any proposed solution should resolve that issue also - Any proposed solution should not differentiate or put undue advantage to larger registrars as opposed to smaller. It is not only essential to do this from a fair play perspective, it is also important to realize that this is a contractual requirement ANCILIARY OBJECTIVES ==================== - Any proposed solution should not impact ICANN's budget in any detrimental fashion if possible - A proposed solution should not result in huge outflow of money for people who wish to participate in this market - A propsoed solution should allow for everyone to be able to participate equally. It should not raise the barriers of participation to a level where it does not allow new entrants to the field Please comment on the above and let me know if this seems fair Best Regards Bhavin Turakhia Founder, CEO and Chairman DirectI -------------------------------------- http://www.directi.com Direct Line: +91 (22) 5679 7600 Direct Fax: +91 (22) 5679 7510 Board Line (USA): +1 (415) 240 4172 Board Line (India): +91 (22) 5679 7500 --------------------------------------
