YMMV. May shrink in hot water. Do not expose to UV. May contain traces of nuts. With added riboflavin!

List of all DNC authorised registrars is available with .nz domain name pricing and other details. Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.   Friday, 27 February 2004 Shocking lack of clue in DNC and InternetNZ Well, if you went to the DNC or InternetNZ websites right know you would have no idea that consulting process was open for 2LD review or zone transfer policy. I guess having 7+ staff or contractors is not enough to do basic website updates...I know... lets send more people to ICANN meetings to make up for it! 4:13:57 PM      Like to comment? [] NZOC minutes on Hiser and top down fiats I guess I should have read the minutes from the recent NZOC meeting. I see buried in it that complimenting Hiser on her appointment. I also see it show a demand for a Disputes Process. Curious how less than 10 questionnaires were completed on this issue and how I have seen no consumer demand for this service. Bottom up shows no need for it but in typical ICANN like fashion NZOC thinks it is required... bring on user representation to this qango! 4:00:04 PM      Like to comment? [] Donna Hisser on board of NZRS Looks like Donna Hiser has been appointed to the board of NZRS. No announcement of it but then again InternetNZ is shocking in its inability to mention these things. 3:50:44 PM      Like to comment? [] VeriSign, ICANN, SiteFinder and WLS on Washington Post Washington Post has story today about VeriSign filing suit against ICANN over Sitefinder. The article is very interesting but when I read the following part (emphasis mine) I was shocked. VeriSign also is protesting ICANN's decision to take at least two years to consider a VeriSign service that allows users to register dot-com addresses containing non-English characters. The corporation has taken the same amount of time to consider whether to approve a service that allows people to get on a waiting list for domain names before they expire. "Working the ICANN process is like being nibbled to death by ducks," Galvin said. Galvin said ICANN's contractual powers should not extend to those services. If they did, Galvin he argued, ICANN must move faster to rule on them. Out of the three items, Site Finder is the only one considered controversial. Many of the technology experts, companies and nonprofit groups that oversee the Internet's infrastructure said that the service, which was briefly live last fall, caused Internet services to malfunction, including filters that block spam e-mail and Internet browsers designed for non-English speakers. Hang on, based on this no one would know that WLS lawsuits are being filed and that WLS has had massive resistance in the market place, both by end users and industry participants. 11:20:17 AM      Like to comment? [] © Copyright 2007 Foxbane Ltd and Steven Heath.
