Greg and all,
This gets back to what I stated earlier with respect to NSI and true
competition
as Jay also chimed in to a degree. The URL reference that you provided
is part of NSI's marketing effort that has been very effective, and is
becoming more effective as long as they continue to go unchecked from
rest of the Stakeholder community. There is presently no real competition
available for several reasons. The biggest of those reasons is MONEY.
No one is willing to jointly take the huge risk of offering a real
alternative
that is well funded. The second biggest reason, though related to
MONEY is a GOOD MARKETING approach. Jay F. outlined very simply
earlier on this subject area that without competition in the REGISTRY
area, there will be no REAL competition to NSI and COM/NET/ORG
DN's. ICANN on the other hand has taken the position that there can only
be one REGISTRY that must be centrally controlled under some self
regulation set of guidelines, now known as the "Accreditation Guidelines"
and the terrible approach taken with the DNSO decided without stakeholder
consent in Singapore, that created constituency approach to determining
who and how decisions regarding DNS issues.
