If it holds true that a registrar is only submitting "closed" lists i.e. they have
not opened the list to the public, Afilias should exclude them from the process altogether.Being
an accredited .info registrar must stipulate that in doing so, they must be accepting
public applications! Again this falls back on the legitimacy of the process and follows
the models being applied in the securities industry etc. At this point in the game,
everybody knows who had an open list and who didn't.
If not, this would be yet
one more blunder on the part of Afilias in a series of fiascos that point to them
being extremely extremely incompetent. Either this or plain corrupt.
Afilias is
either a den of fools or den of thieves, take your pick!
Personally, I'm leaning
towards plain incompetent fools!!
