Re: [ga] ICANN de-accreditation of two gTLD registrars?

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

George and all,

  Well did your expect these two to be on the top 10
list?  I sure didn't.  This is just a token offering IMHO
by ICANN to give the appearance that they are actually
looking after the public interest.  Balderdash I say!

  Same approach as was the Domain Name tasting and
front running.  More about public appearance than
about acutally address the problem.  If this wasn't
such a pittyful and largely ineffective action it would 
be laughable...
