Subject: 20,000 IOD Registrations Not Enough?

Message:
 

 
               
ICANN posted the DNSO warning about "pre-registrations", on Sept. 29,
without exempting IOD registrations from that warning.  Therefore, ICANN effectively discouraged potential registrants from buying .WEB names through IOD.  Now ICANN points to the fact that IOD only has 20,000 registrations, using that fact against IOD.  So on one hand, ICANN points to IOD's 20,000+ registrations as "premature", then implies that if IOD had more registrations, IOD's viability would be greater.  Huh?

Also of great interest is an article posted at www.icbtollfree.com:
"11/10/2000- - ICANN POSTS ITS 'STAFF REPORT' ON NEW TLD'S
Stage dressing for deals already done, it holds few surprises but is entertaining nonetheless."  READ IT!
