Splintering the namespace is a convenient excuse that ICANN uses to engage in restraint of trade and excessive regulation.

Calling people kooks is a good way to get sued, but it doesn't add anything useful to the debate. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren Kumari" <[email protected]> To: "John Palmer (NANOG Acct)" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 5:38 PM Subject: Re: MEDIA: ICANN rejects .xxx domain > > > On May 12, 2006, at 3:26 PM, John Palmer (NANOG Acct) wrote: > > > > > What are they talking about? .XXX already exists: > No it doesn't, see below: > > dig ns xxx @g.LookMaICanAlsoSplinterTheNameSpace.com > > ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> ns xxx @10.24.0.7 > ;; global options: printcmd > ;; Got answer: > ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 3245 > ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 > > ;; QUESTION SECTION: > ;xxx.
