[ga] RE: [registrars] Disaster help - Request for Afilias to extend its deadlines
I
fully sympathise with the situation, and though it would cause a delay in
schedules for all registrars including us, i am MORE THAN HAPPY to support this
request. We have already finished submitting our queues to Afilias and stopped
accepting further registrations, so I dont need any further time. But the
essence of landrush was to give everyone equal and fair participation. I am
pretty sure if we had an episode like that here in India my schedules would get
affected too.
I vote
for an extension that would be sufficient to let NameEngine and others affected
by this tragedy to finish their submissions.

We have petitioned Afilias directly
to extend their deadline past Tuesday, and although they have been
sympathetic, to date they have not directly responded to our
request. Dear Antony: Of course, we are all fully
sympathetic with your request. I suspect that Register.com is in a
similar situation. I know that Corporate Domains is seriously
affected.
Seeing that today (Stateside), the 14th, has been set aside
as a National Day of Preyer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist
Attacks on September 11, 2001, I should think that Afilias would consider your
request.

President Bush proclaims Friday, September 14,

Terrorist Attacks. He asks that the people of the United States
and places of worship mark this National Day of Prayer and Remembrance with
noontime memorial services, the ringing of bells at that hour and evening

National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for
the Victims Of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001
By the
President of the United States of America
A Proclamation On Tuesday
morning, September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked America in a series of
despicable acts of war. They hijacked four passenger jets, crashed two
of them into the World Trade Center's twin towers, a third into the
Headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense at the Pentagon, causing great
loss of life and tremendous damage. The fourth plane crashed in the
Pennsylvania countryside, killing all on board but falling well short of its
intended target apparently because of the heroic efforts of passengers on
board.
This carnage, which caused the collapse of both Trade Center
towers and the destruction of part of the Pentagon, killed more than 250
airplane passengers and thousands more on the ground.
Civilized people
around the world denounce the evildoers who devised and executed these
terrible attacks. Justice demands that those who helped or harbored the
terrorists be punished -- and punished severely. The enormity of their
evil demands it. We will use all the resources of the United States and
our cooperating friends and allies to pursue those responsible for this evil,
until justice is done.
We mourn with those who have suffered great and
disastrous loss. All our hearts have been seared by the sudden and
sense-less taking of innocent lives. We pray for healing and for the
strength to serve and encourage one another in hope and
faith.
Scripture says: "Blessed are those who mourn for they
shall be comforted." I call on every American family and the family of
America to observe a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, honoring the
memory of the thousands of victims of these brutal attacks and comforting
those who lost loved ones. We will persevere through this national
tragedy and personal loss. In time, we will find healing and recovery;
and, in the face of all this evil, we remain strong and united, "one Nation
under God."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution
and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Friday, September 14, 2001,
as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist
Attacks on September 11, 2001. I ask that the people of the United
States and places of worship mark this National Day of Prayer and Remembrance
with noontime memorial services, the ringing of bells at that hour, and
evening candlelight remembrance vigils. I encourage employers to permit
their workers time off during the lunch hour to attend the noontime services
to pray for our land. I invite the people of the world who share our
grief to join us in these solemn observances.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I
have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our
Lord two thousand one, and of the Independence of the United States of America
the two hundred and twenty-sixth. GEORGE W. BUSH
