Indeed -- it's impossible for WLS to "fail" using their metrics, and note that it is VGRS alone that defines success/failure using that response, not ICANN or the widespread community. Combined with the other issue of the "secret" grandfathering potential, and the general anti-competitiveness, I continue to be opposed. What's funny is how the document is now framing the WLS as a "new service to benefit consumers", and no longer considers registry load an issue whatsoever, since they admit that the current system is handling the load just fine. If the registrars and the wider community allow this kind of thing to go through, they might as well roll over and die now, since they'd be admitting that they have no influence whatsoever in this market. Even Microsoft isn't this bold in asserting its monopoly powers. Sincerely, George Kirikos http://www.kirikos.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
