[At-Large] [Gnso-liaison] Is Staff in bed with NetSol?

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

JFC and all my friends,

  Respectfully, users do not need teaching, we need to learn
from them.  They are the BOSS!  Once each of us recognizes
this, the better all of us will be.  And I along with our members,
are some of those users.  All of our members as I have stated
many times before are ALSO registrants.  We WILL be heard,
and when possible, we WILL vote with our $$ and in any other
way we legally can.  If this is offensive to anyone, than I humbly
but without reservation, suggest that they look in the mirror for
their recompense...

  As a matter of example only, I and 91% of our members,
users all, have decided/voted today to block the following
Domain Names.
wanadoo.fr
me.wanadoo.fr
orange.nl
valleybank.com
We do so simply because in two instances their DNS's are
misconfigured, second all four are purvayors of spam and
phishing attempts.

  To date most of our members are reporting that over 8,000
domain names are currently being blocked for same or
similar reasons even though we firmly are against cnesorship.
However as ICANN nor the GNSO has seen fit to properly
police their registrars, registries, nor have either the hostmasters
of postmasters of these domains cleaned up their employees or
customers adaquately, in order for our members are left with
no other method by which to protect themselves...

  So for these reasons, the "See no evil" and "Hear no evil"
jaundra of the ALAC is inconsistant with reality and/or not
giving the main role of ICANN and the GNSO's job it's
proper perspective, that being technical managment.
