Re: [ga] OnlineNic's real address

Eric and all,

  Nice reaponse/rebut.  I personally amd for the "New Blood"
solution, although I am not now sure that even that solution is
really a solution or a "Change That Works" given the level of
distrust ICANN for whatever reasons, has engendered.  You
don't erase 10 years of bad history easily or in a short period
of time.

  but up!! Now that is what I call a response to a question. I think you
  nailed it on the head. ICANN, needs to require transparency to play
  and they need to enforce their rules. Shananigans are ok for excercise
  of rights, but out of bounds for enjoyment of economic
  priviledge. From a corporate psycho perspective: I think ICANN feels
  too insecure in their position. They seem to lack the metaphoric balls
  to demand anything of anyone, so they excercise passive aggressive
  planned incompetence. These guyettes and gals need some confidence to
  stand up and kick some of these immoral thieving bastards asses. We
  either need a transfusion into our status quo or some new blood to
  bring in the new year.

       Hello Eric,

       Re:  Who cares and why...

       you may want to have a look at the cybersquatting case that resulted in a
       $33.15 million judgment.

       
http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-candce/case_no-3:2008cv02832/case_id-204081/

       As it turns out, OnlineNic in China is the equivalent of GoDaddy in the 
U.S. --
       it is China's largest registrar.  OnlineNic has actively engaged in
       cybersquatting and it still awaits the results of additional lawsuits 
filed by
       Microsoft and Yahoo.

       More importantly, it has close to 1.2 million registrations under 
management,
       which means that registrants are at risk if the firm goes under.

       Over the years we have seen numerous ICANN registrars build their own
       portfolios and involve themselves in typosquatting/cybersquatting 
activities --
       see for example exhibit 4 at 
http://www.domainnamenews.com/images/dell_doc2.pdf.


       On occasion, the courts have locked down their ability to function as a
       registrar -- see for example http://www.domaindoorman.com/lawsuit.htm

       The last thing that we need is ICANN tacitly endorsing cybersquatting by
       failing to yank the accredition of such firms, and it sure doesn't help 
when
       ICANN contributes to shenanigans that allow a registrar to conceal its 
primary
       place of business.

       If ICANN really believed in transparency, it should publish registrar
       accreditation application details in full for public scrutiny.

       Happy New Year to all.
       Danny
