Re: [ga] ALAC statement on resolution of non-existing domain name s

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jefsey and all former DNSO GA members,

  Now here Jefsey your conclusion is spot on and certainly
much more to the point.  However in no way does Verisigns
use of Wild Cards currently preclude their right or self determined
deployment of same as they OWN .COM because ICANN
GAVE it to them with no incumbances...  Bad idea than,
and showing perhaps to have been a bad decision now..
But at least the ICANN BoD and staff at that time and
in part now can't say they were not warned...
