Re: [ga] Looks like .ORG goes to ISOC - Another Enron?

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

John and all assembly members,

  This should not be surprising to anyone.  I predicted this would
be ICANN's decision regardless of whom else bid.  The fix was
certainly in months ago..

  The interesting part of this announcement is the subcontracting
ellement with Afilias.  We all know how they have performed
thus far.  Poor is the word that best describes Afilias's registry
performance with .INFO.  In any event here it the text of the
very interesting part:
"SOC has established a new organization, Public Interest Registry (PIR),

which will be the registry    operator, subject to agreements to be
negotiated between ICANN and PIR. PIR will subcontract with
Afilias, the operator of .info – the new gTLD approved by ICANN
last year – to provide operational  support. ISOC is responsible for
appointing the Board of Directors of PIR, which will otherwise
operate as a not-for-profit entity separate from ISOC.

   Subject to final agreements, PIR will assume operations of the
.org registry from VeriSign on 1 January    2003. Stuart Lynn,
president of ICANN, noted "ISOC/PIR presented ICANN
with a very solid transition plan. Current registrants in .org
should notice no interruption of service." "

Kinda reminds me of the Enron structure...   ????

  Previews of coming attractions perhaps?  :(
