[ga] Some anti-WLS news

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

See:
http://www.icannwatch.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/19/2112237&mode=nested

which has some news re: WLS. I expect we'll continue to see more
anti-WLS action if/when Verisign tries to push their unwanted service
down people's throats. Verisign's best move would be to listen to their
customers (registrars) and registrants who on a consensus basis
rejected WLS, and unilaterally withdraw the proposal, saving face for
both themselves and the ICANN Board, lest they face a monumental defeat
in a higher venue that would hurt them even more in the long-term. 

ICANN continues to refuse to provide the Independent Review Panel,
which was formally requested on September 9, 2002:

Certainly 9 months is more than enough time to convene an independent
panel.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
