Re: [ga-roots] Re: New gTLDs

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

Please step back and reread letter. The hand is quicker than the eye. Why
would they write such a letter? Good political manuvering requires wiggle room
for any contingency.  There are very seldom direct requests.  So when you see
one you must evaluate it for the real request. Here there is a very subtle
warning regarding competition and there is no endorsement of ICANNs dotBIZ.  I
would even suggest that the letter is being passed through an intermediary -
ICANN - to Verisign.

It was Mr. Williams who asked me to take a second look at this letter and
analyze it.

This header is a dead giveaway on missinterpretation of such work.  The letter
specifically, often refers to TLD not gTLD. The frequency and usage is a dead
giveaway to include Alternates and new ccTLDs. When you were young did anyone
ever praise you for your effort, well if they did you knew you were not
getting the job done. Why didn't the letter applaud the results.

Now go and read the 1998 document he refers to (I think it is easily
accessable on Ms. Rony's site) I personally faxed and emailed copies of this
document to many. That document is the real message.

There are very few professionals in these areas who participate in these type
of lists.  I would suggest you listen more closely to those who you would ban,
you do what you do and we do what we do.  Judging something you are not
proficient in is seldom a productive endeavor.
