Re: [ga] DNS Stressed From Financial Maneuverings

A lot wrong with that. Domain names that people want to register are being held up, without being paid for, while people who register domain names for their company or personal use foot the bills for ICANN.

  Jeff,

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I read the article and I am not buying it. I saw only a baldfaced assertion of stress but no evidence except on behalf of an employee with a mega corp. And it would appear to be that employees' job to do what she was complaining about doing.  
  As for everyone making money on the system; what is wrong with that?

    All,

    The following illustrates clearly why Domain Name "tasting"
    is a bad idea and bad policy. Yet ICANN has embraced
    it. Money talks louder than stability and security evidently.
    So again unchecked greed trumps good reasoning:

    See:
    http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=289466

    "The Domain Name System is showing signs of being out of
    control. Automated software systems are being used to re-register large
    batches of expired domain names. In addition, speculators are using a
    loophole in the registration process that lets domains be tested for
    their potential profitability as pay-per-click advertising sites during
    a
    free five-day "tasting" period."
