Re: [ga] Responses by .biz/info/org Registry Operators are Unacceptable

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny and all,

  Anybody with even a small amount of business savvy knows
that as an applicant it  is not possible to definitively provide
assurance's of any real meaning that they have the capability
to meet its business ambitions.

It is also not ICANN's or the GNSO's job or mandate to
evaluate such capability, and as far as we have all seen,
the GNSO does not have such expertise to do so.
