[ga] ICANN considers anonymous registration

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

All assembly members,

  The following article is very interesting in light of Marc's latest
post regarding ICANN and it's Root servers Domain Name(s).


http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2800615,00.html

Excerpt:

"The registration of pseudonyms is also not allowed, but registrants
wishing to conceal
their identity can buy a domain name under a third-party name, such as
that of
their lawyer."

Yet ICANN and/or the IANA and Verisign/NSI as well can use pseudonyms
is allowed or at least not corrected. See:

Seems to me that "Registrant:

         VeriSign Global Registry Services
         505 Huntmar Park Drive
         Herndon, VA 20170-5142

Seems to me that "accounting@IDNAMES.COM" and "iana@IANA.ORG"
as well as "hostmaster@NSIREGISTRY.NET" would likely qualify as
pseudonyms for E-Mail contact addresses.  As such, it seems that one
set of rules applies for the ICANN functionaries, NSI/Verisign and
its clones, and yet another applies for everyone else.
