Afilias is now going to check the apps? Why didn't they do that in the first place?
Why don't they do that with all the apps instead of forcing good people to spend
their money?! What incredible stupidity!This is unbelieveably absurd. If they
are going to check some of the apps themselves after the challenge process, why don't
they check all the apps after the challenge process? This can save money. Why not
scrap the challenge process due to gross fraud and simply check the apps? Like someone
said - are they giving themselves a discount? Absolutely ludicrous.
What the heck
has some registrars usinng a closed list (can we have some registrars namesthat are
assumed to be doing this?) do with this bogus sunrise? Nothing at all. This closed
list is a practically nonexistent problem compared to the sunrise fraud. Again we
have people diverting attention from the real problem. 1 or two registrars having
a closed list does not a scandal make. This can happen with any of the registrars
but as most people who register around can tell you if you are first to get to a
queue, you will get the names you want. A few registrars trying to register sex.info
for themselves will probably happen but this is a whole deifferent bag of apples
from every generic and many non generic name being registered due to a grossly flawed
sunrise policy.
The policy can't change? Nonsense. The whole registry can change.
The policy makers were simply incompetent. The question is, when will Icann
realize its mistake?
