Latecomers

I notice that a bunch of DNS registrars finally decided that ICANN doesn't follow its own procedures.

Welcome to the club - you are over six years late to the party.

I filed a request for reconsideration on this same subject in 1999 - Request For Reconsideration 99-4

That request was, of course, rejected.  ICANN rejected all requests without really answering them.  Like the Pope, ICANN is infallible.

I subsequently submitted a request for independent review.  But ICANN could not get its act together enough to form its independent review panel; so my request languished and eventually disappeared.

So DNS registrars - welcome to the club.  I predict that your request will be dismissed by ICANN.  Don't be surprised if you find that you must use the ol' 2x4 method to get your point across.
