Craig and all,
It is well established and well documented now that the dictatorial
actions an style of the ICANN. Hitler-like would be carrying it
a bit to far. Stalin like would be more appropriate possibly. It is
none the less as FACT that the ICANN is acting unilaterally and is
on the whole a closed and non-transparent organization. History
will and has already recorded it as such in their own, now hidden
E-Mail archives. I expect those archives to disappear at some point
as well....
