RE: [ga] DNS Stressed From Financial Maneuverings

[Tim Ruiz <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Other problems with it:



1. Registrars are left with the aftermath of customers not understanding
what the heck is going on when names are available, then suddenly not
available, then available again. There are already enough issues that
threaten consumer confidence in e-commerce. This practice is quickly
becoming another. We deal with these kinds of complaints on a daily
basis. ICANN knows it, the registries know it, we've made sure of that.



2. Registries are left with the need to shore up infrastructure to deal
with this practice. Just meeting the requirements for historical
storage of the data as required in their agreements has to be
significant. Bottom line is they are spending money and resources to
support an activity that benefits only a handful of entities.

Dr. Dierker and all,

 

 

 

 Nothing at all wrong or bad about making money. I am and

 

 always have been a very strong capitalist. What IS wrong

 

 in respect to what this article rightly indicates, is that in any

 

 strong capitalist society, putting "making money" for the sake

 

 of expediency and before stability, is a fools game and therefore

 

 both dangerous use of a mechanism, and is rarely long term,

 

 a money making practice or policy. In the stability of a artificially

 

 imposed stressing of the DNS as a priority over stability and

 

 security for all other DNS users is not a sound practice and/or

 

 policy.
