Re: [ga] How hard should it be to get a domain registered? At what point does a ccTLD manager become guilty of abusive behavior?

[<vany@sdnp.org.pa>]

Hi!:

I would like to ask to Randy Bush what are the technical reasons why he
requires all those conditions fullfilled in order to delegate a domain.In
my country, the ccTLD doesn't asks for such requirements as obligatory and
they are working fine and delegating domains without problems.

Randy, you can answer me in technical language if you want because I also
manage the DNS server of the organization I work, so don't be afraid about
my understanding of technical issues.  

My personal possition about ccTLD administration and operation is that
both administration and operation must reside within the country to which 
such ccTLD belongs, even if the ones that holds management and/or
operations are foreign companies/individuals (which it means that such
foreign companies/individuals must open operations in the such country).

Best Regards
Vany
