Re: [ga] Wildcards

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roberto and all Former DNSO GA members or other interested parties,

 The point, which you and a few others of the ALAC and the ICANN
BoD seem to be missing is that addressing the use of Wildcards is
way behind the curve as this was discussed on "Namedropers" forum
this past June and the fact that VRSN has no obligation to comply
with ICANN belated request as VRSN owns .COM as a part
of ICANN's own short sited contractual agreement to redeligate
.ORG and eventually, .NET.  BTW Roberto as I recall, you were
at that time, very supportive of that agreement...  Interesting now,
you seem to be a "Liaison" for the ICANN BoD... ????  Very
interesting indeed...
