[ga] Poll: WLS -- yes or no?

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@yahoo.com>]

As a constituency, there's only a couple of weeks to submit a response
regarding the WLS. Given all that has been said, an informal (or
formal) poll might be useful to gauge the stance of members of the GA.

------begin poll-------------------------------
Name:

As a member of the DNSO General Assembly, I:

   Am in favour of the WLS   [ ]
   Oppose the WLS            [ ]
   Abstain from WLS vote     [ ]

Brief Reasons:

My own position is:

------begin poll-------------------------------
Name: George Kirikos

As a member of the DNSO General Assembly, I:

   Am in favour of the WLS   [ ]
   Oppose the WLS            [X]
   Abstain from WLS vote     [ ]

Brief Reasons: It is an anti-competitive intervention in the deleted
domains industry. VGRS is attempting to leverage its registry monopoly
to enter a market that already exhibits competition and innovation, to
the detriments of those market participants and to effect a cash grab.
VGRS has now admitted that the "technical problems" that once existed
have been completely solved, and thus this new self-serving product is
not required. NB: Verisign states in answer B.2 at
http://verisign-grs.com/wls_responses.pdf that "registry load is no
longer an issue. The multiple pools and rate limiting technology have
SOLVED that problem".
------end poll----------------------------------

I'll have a longer response in a later posting, but hope that this will
gets the ball rolling.

Sincerely,
