Subject:	IOD is a registry, not a registrar
Message:
As the subject says, IOD is not an ICANN registrar because the company has no interest in selling .com names. IOD is a registry, not a registrar. Why isn't IOD using nic.web? We are. But since .web isn't in the roots right now, we also have webtld.com so those who choose not to point to our servers can get to us. Why aren't we in the roots? Put simply, because IANA chose to have the IAHC process rather than honour the commitment that was made to IOD in 1996. The IAHC process failed, and the IFWP process was begun instead. The IFWP process was derailed, and ICANN was created instead. Which leads us to where we are. 4 years later. Christopher Ambler Image Online Design, Inc.
