ICANN Will Choose Six New Registries?
by cambler on July 22, 2004 10:17AM (PDT)
ICANN is budgeting revenue averaging $100,000 from each of six new registries.
Considering that only 1 of the .tel applicants can get .tel, that means that 6 of 9 applicants would be chosen. Which three get the thumbs-down, do you think?
====

The keyword is "new". The second keyword is
"registry". The third keyword is "revenue".
You can rearrange the order of the words to
see how ICANN views the situation.

new registry revenue
new revenue registry
new .NET registry revenue
new.NET registry revenue

What is happening is that ICANN is looking for
NEW players that can guarantee them $100,000 per
year in kick-backs. EXISTING Registries do not
qualify, ICANN already has them in the syndicate.

The real question is not "Which three get the
thumbs-down" but "Which six players will sign the
secret oath to guarantee the annual pay-offs?"

ICANN has located some recent fools who will
toss $50,000 out on the ICANN roulette table.
Their money has been spent on the latest junket
to Shangri La. That wine and caviar was not cheap.

ICANN is now more interested in finding the
players who will year-after-year toss $100,000
in the ICANN direction (as a donation of course).
Universities do the same thing. For $100,000
per year, a player (organization) gets some piece
of several professors spinning information into
a form that benefits the supporting company.

In summary, ICANN has decided (secretly of
course) that they can bring "six" NEW players
into their closed circle, to help build their
endowment. It should be obvious who the six
NEW good OLD boys will be, and the bimbos** that
are backing each one.

**The new path to "success" is to be born in
Africa, go to Switzerland, find a riiiiich
American, marry him and then inherit his
fortune. From there, you find a Senator with
"nice hair", marry him, and buy your way into
the Whitehouse. ICANN loves African Americans,
if they have money.
