    Looks Like More ICANN Staff Will Be Needed

    to handle the substantive issues being raised here on ICANNwatch

    You can watch as your .ORG tax dollars are poured into empty-desk-jobs, lavish parties, and around the world travel junkets

    Did you get a chance to attend the last .ORG party in March ? The prostitutes supplied by .PRO were reported to be top quality.

    Why are they not talking about scrapping whois in favor CRISP [ietf.org]? Why is ICANN so backwards?

    Does ICANN know Whois is NOT the DNS ?
    by Anonymous on Tuesday May 11 2004, @03:11AM (#13541)
    Does ICANN know Whois is NOT the DNS ?

    There are names in the DNS that are not in Whois.

    There are names in Whois that are not in DNS.

    Why is ICANN fixated on Whois, which is not the DNS ?

    Why does ICANN claim to be the keeper of DNS ?

    Do lawyers really think that people are going to be gullible and hand them direct access to all of their personal information, to be used against them in the litigious police-state society that is designed to have all assets controlled and taxed by lawyers ?

    Are the Spooks at Neustar to be trusted ?

    Are the Spooks at Neustar to be trusted ?

    Do you think people are stoopid (tm) and do not see right thru the agenda that Neustar has ? .US was handed to the DOD-backed Lockheed-Martin Neustar with hardly anyone noticing. .KIDS.US is being sold to super-gullible naive net users.

    Do you think the people will be foolish enough to turn their .TEL and/or .ENUM infrastructure over to the Neustar Spooks ?

    regarding the .jobs sTLD
    by Anonymous on Tuesday May 11 2004, @03:49AM (#13543)
    regarding the .jobs sTLD. Technical registry operations will be provided by
    Verisign Naming and Directory Services (“VNDS”), a division of Verisign, Inc.
    under contract to Employ Media. VNDS has empirically proven their capability
    to provide world-class registry operations and maintain multiple-tld
    interoperability.

    services in the .xxx TLD Afilias’ Registry-Registr
    by Anonymous on Tuesday May 11 2004, @04:04AM (#13545)
    The second mechanism will be in the Registry-Registrar Agreement that each
    ICANN accredited must enter into with the registry operator prior to being
    permitted to provide domain name registration services in the .xxx TLD.
    Afilias’ Registry-Registrar agreement

    Trademarks? That's kids stuff
    by jberryhill on Tuesday May 11 2004, @06:32PM (#13559)
    User #3013 Info
    In the meantime, if one does enough digging to find the un-named "Islamist Web Site" which posted the video of today's atrocity, one finds that the terrorists have diversified among ICANN-accredited registrars. For example, prior to 9/11 Network Solutions provided domain name registration services to the Taliban mission to the UN, even after they were determined by the US to be persona non-grata. Register.com had for years derived revenue from serving Saddam Hussein's State Company for Internet Services. Credit for the recent car-bombing in Saudi Arabia was taken by a proud customer of Enom.

    The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
