is the Afilias Powerpoint presentation by Roland LaPlante.
Do you believe the
balls on this guy calling the "results satisfactory"!
This has gone way beyond
any innocent incompetence and has become a condoned fraud with nothing but contempt
for the public.
Afilias has done nothing and will do nothing to do what's right
ICANN
has done nothing and will do nothing to do what's right
Sorry but ICANN's and Afilias's
weak press releases about fixing things "down the road" is about as meaningful as
the "checks in the mail" BS!
Landrushers have been bent over this whole time but
now they will be F$cked. Wanna bet?

>The results from Sunrise have been very
satisfactory.
Overall, we registered 52,245 names.
One of the biggest pieces
of news is that the majority of these registrations came from Europe, confirming
our believe going in that .INFO, because of it’s international appeal, would be very
popular outside the US. And so it is.
Within Europe, Germany has the
largest share, with 20% of all registrations coming from Germany alone! Austria
is second, the UK is third, and Switzerland is fourth! Top honors on this outstanding
performance go to Speednames, Schlund, CORE, EPAG, and Register!
And, the
majority of the world’s top brands have already nailed down their space in .INFO.
Coca-cola, Microsoft, Nokia, Intel, AT&T, Mercedes, Toyota, BMW, Nescafe, Ericcson,
Samsung, and the list goes on and on. Not only have they registered their names,
they’ve registered their selling lines, with wheresthebeef.info and prioirityovernight.info
among others.
I know the real proof will come when these sites are up and
different from their current corporate sites. And we are woprking on that.
However, Since we only opened our doors 6 weeks ago, this is tremendous progress
for a new brand and you should all be proud of the work you’ve done to make this
happen.<
