Steinle and all assembly members,
Yes. And what you show below
is just the tip if the iceberg, so to
speak! Our staff has found quite a
number of other similar violations
from Afilias as well as Neulevel in this area.
We have forwarded them
to the USPTO and the DOJ for their information.
It would
seem obvious that the ICANN BOD and staff have more than
ample justification for
revoking afilias's and Neulevel's Registry contract immediately! However, given
the political bedfellows that these two companies are with certain ICANN BoD members
is, it is very
doubtful that this action will be taken. Yet, we [INEGroup]
believe
that it should be, along with a stiff fine!
