PIR Comments on Domain Deletion
November 11, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) --
Public Information Registry (pir.org) said on Monday
that it was not at fault for a recent incident between
itself and AITdomains's (aitdomains.com) registrar
system, which resulted in a large number of .org
domains being deleted and placed in redemption.
PIR is the operator of the .org registry. AITdomains
is the domain name division of Web hosting provider
AIT (ait.com).
David Maher, senior vice president of law and policy
for Public Information Registry, said the "unfortunate
incident" stemmed from a malfunction at AIT. "We have
firm evidence the delete commands came from AIT," says
Maher.
Maher says the deleted domains, estimated to number
around 500, are back online after being down for
approximately four days.
Maher said the two companies have agreed to work
together and are willing to enter neutral arbitration
if necessary.
AIT said last week that it had begun an investigation
of the incident in conjunction with ICANN.
