RE: [ga] Vint why do none of the NIC's have any way to inform them of WHOIS data that is wrong...

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Damn,
How can the staff be so intrusive and yet incompetent at the same time?

I tell you after suffering through about 600 pages of VB.net re.NETv1.0
and reviewing Flemmings' matters and the real dotBIZ, it is conclusive 
the BoD as a body are complete boobs.  They are becoming and will soon be 
completely irrelevant. 
I hope Lacnic and Afnic are keeping their options open.  EU be careful.
