ICANN will be holding meeting tomorrow, Monday June 25 at the Puerto Rico meeting addressing the "Protection of Registrants" during which Kieren McCarthy will be taking comments from the Internet and putting them in the meeting. Please Read-on for the issues being addressed in the meeting.
Yesterday ICANN made an announcement on their site as follows: A deal will be announced later today that it is hoped will
finally put an end to the situation where people are unable to get at
their RegisterFly domains. An announcement is being prepared as we
speak. ICANN still has a contempt order against RegisterFly for failing to follow the terms of the preliminary injunction.
ICANN granted the right to act on transfers as
soon as possible; plan in action
Marina del Rey, CA: Under a preliminary injunction issued
yesterday by US Federal Court Judge, Manuel J. Real, ICANN now has the right
to terminate RegisterFly’s accreditation as soon as possible. The provision
to ICANN of current and accurate data for all of RegisterFly’s domain
names has also been ordered by the Court as RegisterFly failed to meet the
conditions of a temporary restraining order (TRO) which the Court issued on
April 16, 2007.
Interview Karl Auerbach, the last
publicly elected board member at ICANN, has been involved with internet
development almost since the inception of the internet itself, and
served as North America's direct representative on ICANN's Board of
Directors.
Always the iconoclast on the ICANN Board of Directors - and with the
Lisbon meeting now squarely in the rear view mirror - we thought
Auerbach would have some interesting things to say about recent
developments at the controversial group that runs the internet we all
know and love.
