So, opensrs kids, how 'bout implementing an opt in requirement for the lists
you may or may not be selling. it's a beginning.
Why does Icann even allow the sale of lists? Haven't they heard of this
phenomena called , uh, i forget, yeah, Spam.
Genie's privacy idea is interesting. Perhaps Icann should consider changing
their policy to allow Genie's idea to manifest.
What is the downside of this kind of privacy that Genie is suggesting, if
any at all?
The upside is obvious.
