[NA-Discuss] [offlist] Domain hijacking story

[Eric Brunner-Williams]

Alan,

Tom's speculation concerned a property of registrars, the physical
nexus between the registrars and the City of New York, and the
conditions community-based registries may propose in support of their
claim to have a restrictive registration policy may manifest in some
conditions on registrars, e.g., be capable of title search in one or
all of the Five Boroughs or grants of business licenses, again, in one
or all of the Five Boroughs, or capable of in-person registration,
again, in one or all of the Five Boroughs reducing the registrars for,
e.g., .nyc, to those with a physical presence in one of the five boroughs.

It was in CORE's response to the DOITT for .nyc. I wrote it.

Your observation was to revisit .pro's initial claim, which limited
registrants by some property other than physical nexus.

Let me know when you find a restriction on registrars.

Offlist?
