Geeez... the PAB is not NetNames. Who else did you discuss it with on
the PAB? No-one I bet.

Bad, bad, bad, bad mistake.

Congratulations! You just destroyed the PAB, Hank.

One of the cardinal rules in this business is that *NO* applications
can be accepted by *ANYONE* until day one.

Authorization is only given by to start on day one. I assume this must
have begun? The gTLDs are now in the root and *EVERYONE* can accept
registrations and cash in? No?

Has anyone on the IAHC/iPOC or IANA given any organization permission
to accept applications in the seven IAHC gTLDs?

What makes NetNames or anyone else able to do this, and GlobeComm and
Sandy and all the other PAB members (by specific request of Don Heath)
not able to do this?

This is even worse than the original NSI problem because there is
uneven discrimination going on in a supposedly "open" and "fair"
process. Why do think this is process is regarded as badly flawed, and
most folks who know better won't sign the MoU?

I suggest all those who are not taking applications and think they are
being unfairly discriminated against start a class action suit against
the iPOC.

You may not like me, or my viewpoint, but you know I'm right.


Best Regards,

Simon
