<P>Dr. Joe and all,</P>
<P> </P>
<P> Thanks for the refresher update. If ICANN has been on top of
the situation sense day one as you </P>
<P>say, it is, and has been clear that their handling of same has been at best
very lousy. If so,</P>
<P>I have to wonder if, and to what depth and degree the relevant LEA's are
investigating?</P>
<P> </P>
<P> What really bothers me about all this is that back in 2002, ICANN was
supposedly on board</P>
<P>with strong Child protection hence the .KIDS.US special domain name, which
we all here on the</P>
<P>GA knew was not a very good or even comprehensive solution and has proven
NOW to be so</P>
<P>given the developed International relationships ICANN has cultivated in good
faith sense 2002,</P>
<P>but have not been very forthright in their ongoing due diligance of same
internally it seems.<BR><BR><BR></P>

Re: [ga] German school students victims of dutch drug trafficker TLD scam
<BR><BR>Jeff - ICANN has been on top of this from day one. When the European
ISP switch their root service over to INAIC - I can had there people on the
phones working hard to put a lid on it. They did a good job of putting on
the pressure. When Turkey got involved - ICANN used every trusted net workers
it had to put the fear of god into Turkish ISPs. ICANN was mostly useless.
Everyone was committed to contracts. Contract fraud was a big part of
it.<BR><BR>ICANN shut up when I went public that the whole thing was a scam. I
was promised an organization for TLD holders - what I got was a scam - the
organization existed - but the only member allowed was Herman Xennt. And of
course I was not happy with all the fraud - including embezzlement, extortion,
money laundering, tax evasion, etc. etc - so I went public and support for the
project collapsed overnight.<BR><BR>Thats when ICANN stopped it's anti INAIC
lobbying. Suddenly I go public and ICANN shuts up.<BR><BR>I agree with the
statement made that they need an informational. I also feel the least ICANN
should do is get their bloody logos off the site. My efforts to warn people
away from this scam are hampered because ICANN can't protect it's intellectual
property rights - or in this case refuses.<BR><BR>I know why.<BR><BR>It's not
good to rock the boat. One of the directors of the project is or was with SITA.
He been let go. Too many questions. And SITA is an ICANN accredited something
or other. And SITA runs the .SITA TLD at INAIC. Anyone wishing to confirm this
need only visit <A href="http://inaic.com/"; target=_blank>http://inaic.com/</A>
and in the top right hand corner of the page is the <FONT face="Geneva, Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>TLD WHOIS SERVER - just enter "SITA" without the
quotes and watch who comes up.<BR><BR>Interesting things are
happening.<BR><BR>regards<BR>joe baptista<BR></FONT> <BR><BR>

<P>German high school students at the Gymnasium Querfurt are the recent victims
of a Top-Level Domain (TLD) sales scam run by Dutch con artist <A

<P>Administration at the school, one of Germany’s top ten high schools,
confirmed today they are an INAIC approved reseller of Top-Level Domains
(TLDs). The <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"

German high school, recognized by the German government as one of the best in
the country, launched GQnet.</P>
<P>The school joins an impressive list of organizations on the INAIC victims
list. Both the Government of Turkey and SITA (Societe Internationale de
Telecommunications Aeronautique) participated in marketing stolen property
through INAIC. In these cases the intellectual property rights to top-level
domains sold by INAIC are part of a commercial fraud involving former partners
of Herman Xennt and the <A onclick="return

target=_blank>Top Level Domain Association</A>, another front for the
organization.</P>

href="http://www.gymnasium-querfurt.de/"; target=_blank>Gymnasium Querfurt</A>.
Mettin insists the INAIC organization is not a scam. “You can trust me”, he
said “this organization exists”. When pressed for details on the organizations
head office address or it’s jurisdiction of incorporation Mettin was unable to
answer but did confirm his contact at INAIC was Herman Xennt.</P>
<P>Martijn Burger the official chairman of the Internet Names Authorization
& Information Center (the real INAIC) issued an <A onclick="return

behind INAIC.com has never been operational.</P>
<P>When presented with the statement Mettin responded he did “not really care
whether the address was correct or” where “INAIC is incorporated”. He insisted
instead that if the technical aspects of the system worked that was all the
credibility he and the school needed. “The TLD’s resolve and that’s what
counts” he said as proof INAIC is legitimate.</P>
<P>According to Mettin school administration were aware of the scandal and he
did not rule out legal action. Dr. Hans-Jorg Däumer, the school Principle, was
away from his office this week and unavailable for comment.</P>

<P>In a related story INAIC TLD reseller VAGUE is <A onclick="return

target=_blank>claiming the Irish company</A> is associated with <A

href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/kteare"; target=_blank>Keith Teare</A> the well
known founder of RealNames a $130 million Microsoft project. Teare denied
RealNames has anything to do with the reseller. “I just read the various
sites”, Teare said, “looks like a major scam”.</P>
<P>Teare is not alone in having his identity stolen to sell bogus TLDs. At
INAIC identity theft and brand name piracy is a common practice used as a
marketing tool to look legitimate. The legal departments of major multinational
corporations like Hilton Hotels, Akzo-Nobel, KFC and Philips Electronics have
all threatened legal action against INAIC to protect their identities and brand
names.</P>
<P><EM><STRONG>Xennt – the wizard behind the curtain.</STRONG></EM></P>
<P>Herman Xennt the man behind INAIC first came to public attention in 2002 as
the man behind the XTC bunker. The “bunker” is a former NATO base built in
1955. In 1995 Herman purchased the facility from the dutch government and
installed himself as a <A onclick="return
top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://www.republic-cyberbunker.org/"; target=_blank>constitutional
monarch</A>. He also installed an XTC lab to manufacture the psychoactive and
psychedelic drugs ecstasy and MDMA.</P>
<P>On Saturday July 27th 2002 the XTC lab went up in flames and the dutch fire
brigade was called. This prompted a police investigation into the XTC lab and
Xennt was arrested the next day for drug trafficking. Herman became an infamous
local celebrity overnight and was widely reported in the local papers.</P>
<P>But at the local police station in the City of Goes Herman is best known as
a commercial fraud artist. Adriaan Capello is the police officer who keeps an
eye on Herman. Capello has an impressive file of complaints from people
swindled by Xennt in various technology investment schemes.</P>
<P>Capello points out there is nothing the local police can do. Capello tries
his best to investigate but in the end the police don’t have the time,
resources, or expertise to investigate commercial crime involving high
technology fraud and the cases end up in limbo.</P></SPAN></DIV>
