Re: [ga] Domain Tasting is Dead

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

George and all,

  Knee-jerk reactions are all too common so don't feel embarrassed,
goes with the territory sometimes.

  What was agreed to in Paris has little to do with reality, as with
most "Declarations" of "Decisions" made by ICANN sense it's
inception, and many regular observers already know.

  I don't know, but I doubt that any Registrar has "Moved on"
as you say George.  Likely they are taking stock of what and how
long they need to behave until this issue falls off the radar screen.
And still others are not accurately reporting "Deletes", but doing
bogus deletes to skew the reported results, a rather easy thing to do
with little "Tracks" by which to prove such behavior.  No, it's
clear as glass that all registrars need constant 24/7 supervision.
And it's ICANN's mandate to effectively "Oversee" their contracted
agents, in this case, Registrars.
