With the news about other people suing Verisign for illegal acts (rah! rah!), I'm wondering what, if anything, is happening with OpenSRS trying to put a stop to Verisign's burdensome transfer restrictions, which are still causing a lot of problems for many of us.
Perhaps six months ago, there seemed to be a great deal of activity on this front -- OpenSRS was collecting examples, sending letters to Verisign's legal department, etc. The feeling I got was that OpenSRS was leading the way in trying to put a stop to it. Perhaps this is just perception, but that seems to have fizzled out, and I'm afraid that we're all now just resigned to this sad state of affairs. Verisign will again have won a new "right" to do something clearly against the spirit of a contract, simply by doing it without asking for permission then riding out the storm (which doesn't bode well for those concerned about the WLS proposal). I'm hoping my perception is wrong, and there's all sorts of daring behind-the-scenes legal action going on. (I'm thinking of Elliot Noss swinging through a plate-glass window in tights: "You have been served... evildoers!" "Aieee! It's DomainFairnessMan!") Any chance of an update from OpenSRS on this issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes, my father would accuse chestnuts of being lazy -- the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
