Re: [ga] Re: .vu CCTLD off the air

Stephane and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

The reasons for your and it seems Andy's inability to resolve
.vu domains could be for a number of reasons which may or
may not be related to ICANN or whomever is managing the
.vu cctld name space.  As I and others have gone over a number
of such reasons many times in the past doing so again would
seem overly redundant at this point.

That said, Stephanie is right in the evaluation that ICANN's
management of "Security and Stability" is poor and sporatic
at best, and many times as has been reported here on this
as well as other forums, total brokeness has been confirmed.
Yet to consider any UN agency to take over such a task
as ICANN now has would almost certainly invite even worse
management of the internet as corruption abounds in the UN
these days.  Although for some time the ITU has been attempting
such a coup, it has been clear and well documented that the ITU
is ill suited for such a task on a number of fronts.
