Re: [ga] Has the T.L.D.A disbarred?

["John Palmer" <jpalmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"disbarred?" - No that would only be the case if the TLDA was Joe and he was a 
lawyer. 

I think you mean "disbanded".

Its still there, sort of, but in a dormant state because no one wants to put 
work into 
something that they think will not work in the end. Its partly because the 
people in the
organization did not know how to take the TLDA from where it was to where they 
wanted it to be. 

You are correct about ICANN. There is nothing to stop them from stealing TLDs 
like 
they did with .BIZ, except deep pockets and no one in the INS TLD business has 
that
kind of money. 

Karl A. once suggested filing complaints with the various European regulatory 
agencies.
Maybe, but they are just as likely to ignore you as ICANN is. 

Glad to hear its nice in Allentown. Tom B. (The other one at the 'lectric 
company) says
"hi". I'll see him down in Orlando at our Users Conference next month.

  Looking at the web site for T.L.D.A it looks like cobwebs all over the place. 
Karl 
  Peter has abaondoned the organization and I think John gave up since no other
  persons cared to come along in the parade. 

  Maybe this is one topic that crakpot Joe can agree with me on these points - 
they are a useless
  organization.

  So, asking all of ths perticipants at this list: Do you all intend to start 
another
  advocate group for the I.N.S. causes? 

  Does anyone even care here anymore?

  I was starting my own mail service for the local people here in the Lehigh 
Valley with the .BAX tld but have
  stopped in my tracks when I saw what a mess that T.L.D.A is. Why should I 
make the efforts to continue.
