Dear Kristopher, I have a vested interest in IOD, by the fact
that I own .Web registrations through them. I considered this an intelligent
investment, realizing that whoever runs .Web, the names will disappear faster than
pancakes at my children's breakfast table.
I also have a vested
interest in Regland. I considered this an intelligent investment, realizing
that ICANN is biased against IOD and that Regland may be the only possible way of
acquiring a high quality name, if the award goes to Afilias or Neustar.
If Afilias or Newstar would take registrations on .Web names,
I would try to obtain some through their outlets also. I would consider this
an intelligent investment. Seeing however that Afilias and Neustar have arranged
to hoard as many worthwhile names as possible for themselves and their friends, I
realize that this intelligent investment avenue will not be open to me.
Thank you for asking.
Best wishes
to you, Eliahu
