Jeff,
The article provided for your reference pointed to
continued issues with regard to transfers.
Front-running is a separate matter, which contrary to
your claims has not been discontinued. For reference
please see this article posted just two days ago --
http://blogs.computerworld.com/forward/7217/email_ref
You may also choose to refer to the extensive
commentary on the topic at Slashdot posted yesterday
-- see
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/15/2121200
and for another twist on NetSol matters, look at
http://www.entlawdigest.com/(S(renb53v3amsve145v0aa4r55))/LawReport/ViewReport.aspx?Report=27&Category=3&Area=35
which states: "A federal class action claims Network
Solutions makes its customers private email messages
publicly available on the Internet through common
search engines such as Google, in violation of state
and federal laws."
While the entire world it seems is talking about
NetSol's abusive practices (including the ICANN Board
-- see
http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-23jan08.htm),
the ALAC, in its role as the "voice of the individual
Internet users" has absolutely nothing to say on the
topic...
no policy recommendations, no request for an issues
report, no request for a PDP, no request to ICANN
Staff for feedback as to whether NetSol practices
constitute a violation of the RAA -- instead, the ALAC
appears to be either totally clueless or horribly
irresponsible -- but what can you really expect from a
bunch of people that are just pretending to be the
at-large so that they can continue to milk the ICANN
cash cow? If they really were the at-large, we would
have heard their outrage about these situations...
instead all we hear are their ongoing requests for
even more money while registrants receive no
assistance whatsoever from their "Voice" within ICANN.
