Re: [ga] [fwd] [council] Legal Breifing Regarding Implementation of New or Changed Policies (from: touton@icann.org)

[Don Brown <donbrown_l@inetconcepts.net>]

The bottom line on this one is that a certain losing Registrar, or
losing Registrars, want to be able to deny a transfer in order to
thwart the loss of market share.

It's a big political game - I've never seen a politician or a
political organization who didn't want to keep their big contributors
happy.

I do, however, resent apparent authority not being vested in the
Technical contact. It is us geeks who built NetSol (for free) and who
handle domain names for our customers everyday.  Most of our customers
still can't spell DNS, but most can spell AOL.  If the customer
doesn't want us to be the Tech Contact, that's o.k. - they are on
their own.  In our piece of reality, however, most want us to simply
take care of it for them.

Sorry for the rant, but it sticks in my crawl.  The bottom line on
this particular post is that it is nothing more than politics put
forth by a lawyer - we all best well take it as such and follow the
money to the truth.

Thanks,
