afilias comments

All:

 

After watching how Afilias handled the last contract they won from ICANN, I
am seriously concerned about the possibility of the firm managing .net.
Afilias is still struggling to operate .org and now we may run the risk of
their failure to operate .net successfully.  Is ICANN really going to allow
a company that can't handle the technical requirements of .org (as seen in
the outage in September) to have control of a domain that is considered the
backbone of the Internet?
