Baxter - don't use my name in vain.  Thats rule number one.  Because I 
know who you are - and what you are not is a TLD Holder.  Your a fake.  
I smell a vermin here and his name is Herman.

Sorry Baxter, oops - or is that Herman - as the man responsible for 
drafting the public root FCFS rules I can tell you your claim is 
nonsense and your interpretation of the FCFS rules completely wrong.  
FCFS claims require supporting evidence.  Since you have not provided 
any your claims is dismissed.

An interesting thing about is TLDs is that if no one knows you exist - 
guess what - you don't exist.  So as the one responsible for monitoring 
FCFS registrations I can say that until you provide us with notice of 
your name servers and contact information you can't make claim to FCFS 
rules.

As one of the TLDAs biggest critics I can say that the TLDA is doing a 
fine job of meeting its mandate.  And much of that it owes to Karl 
Peters.  Obviously Mr. Baxter (Herman Xennt) you have no idea what your 
talking about and I take offense you attempt to use my name in support 
of your crap.

But since you have used me as a reference here I can advise all those 
who read your mumbo jumbo that they can safely ignore it.

That days not going to happen.  Your another one of Herman the Vermin's 
make believe people.  And the TLDA is not a membership for make believe 
people.  Thats more the jobs of INAIC - the pretend ICANN organization - 
www.inaic.com .
