Re: [ga] Haiti, the Internet and ICANN

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Debbie and all,

  It's too small Debbie, Dr. Dierker knows it is but seems to be
reluctent
to say so directly.  Maybe his memory is failing?  Does .tj ring
a bell Dr. Dierker?  Or maybe that is before your time on this
forum.  Thankfully now .tj is in the rightful hands in Tajikistan.
However the contact information seems a bit odd.  See:
http://www.iana.org/root-whois/tj.htm

And there was also Uzbekistan .uz  controversy.  Which was
also in the hands of a crook which some of us exposed for
same as well.  Now it too is in better hands in Uzbekistan,
see: http://www.iana.org/root-whois/uz.htm

However without the diligance of some of us "old guys" as
Veni likes to say, the corrections may well have not been
made.  Diligance, good sense of ethics, and verifying are
imparative when dealing with ICANN,  IANA, ISOC,
all the "NIC's", most especially NIC.FR, IETF, IAB,
IESG, IRTF, all of the RIR's, AFNIC and LACNIC in
and particular, and the LIR's.

Blind trust of organizations is nearly always foolish,
trust but verify is wise indeed.
