Network Solutions ISP Support

["E L Perrine II (Ed)" <eperrine@nettally.com>]

Ladies/Gentlemen:

ICANN and the Department of Commerce need to take a hard
look at the tools and support (or lack thereof) provided by
Network Solutions to the ISP community.

As the primary source of domain registrations, ISPs must
have a means to review and audit their domain registrations.
Network Solutions has been systematically *removing* the
few available tools, making domain maintenance increasingly
more difficult for ISPs.

The addition of new registrars is welcome, but does nothing
to address the arrogance of Network Solutions and their
refusal to provide responsible, managed access to their
domain database. There is certainly justification for
limiting access. However, as the information would seem to
be a matter of public record the position of Network
Solutions is indefensible.
