So - this is the "equitable return to the public" of the 10,000 odd challenged names
that Roland LaPlante said he couldn't discuss because Afilias had yet to finalise
detail, when I wrote to him after the .info Sunrise wanting confirmation that Afilias
accepted its responsibilities to the Landrushers whose preregistrations were voided
and that Afilias would acknowledge their participation in the original Landrusher
by giving them standing in any Landrush 2. ICANN approved the .info Sunrise model
that the dogs were barking was demonstrably inadequate and then failed to act and
implement the DomeBase proposal for the Landrush 1 when 20% of the Sunrise registrations
were for individuals and companies prepared to provide fake TM details.
Now six
months after the abomination of the .info Sunrise, Afilias prepares to have its business
partners sell preregistrations to the 10,000 Landrush 1 names for the third time
and itself register the names for the second time.
What more evidence is needed
that the current DNS administration is incompetent and corrupt!
I don't plan to
participate in the .info Landrush 2 and I continue to hope that the regular posters,
despite the odds, have managed to register first rate .infos and that they become
leaders when .info gains a public profile.
