good one Bob - like you, I had no axe to grind until it |

became apparent that I was involved - together with my money - in a game whose organisers
and regulators had stacked the deck against the average player and apparently didn't
give a damn - behaving as though they were untouchable and that there would be no
fallout from the fiasco they couldn't handle. I would like to be wrong, but I feel
that unless they are stopped very soon, the Afilias Ltd. and ICANN gang (you know
the ones with chairs at the board and committee tables in both institutions)will
be mounting a brand new Landrush (it will be interesting to see what they call it)
for EVERYONE to pay AGAIN for the privilege to have a chance to win the disputed
generics. I also wonder which of the disputed names will somehow miss the challenge
process and in whose hands they will remain. You can bet some of the registrars
who played fast and loose in Sunrise will again have their noses in the trough. Unless
the execs of Afilias discover the ethics the public expects of those in their positions
and Afilias decides to adopt your proposal for an equitable distribution of disputed
names, then I sincerely hope that an Afilias Ltd. Landrush which doesn't give standing
to the original Landrush preregistrants is the straw that breaks the camel's back
and the powers that be send the (ir)responsible members of the ICANN and Afilias
Ltd. boards to jail. Where's the journalist who will expose ICANNgate or Afilias
Ltd.gate?
