Re: [IFWP] CORRECTION to "Iperdome Blames ICANN for Its Demise"

[Greg Skinner]

Generally speaking, I agree with Mike Roberts' assessment of the NSI
cooperative agreement.  I believe the USG made a mistake in the way it
was set up, and particularly when and how NSF authorized NSI to start
charging for registrations.  This should not necessarily be read as
an outright criticism of the NSF (or any other branch of the USG); they
could not have foreseen just how explosive DNS registration was going to
be.
