FYI - ICANN has shut down Red Register

[IPB Corporation]

ICANN terminates Red Register, Inc.’s accreditation.

Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has terminated Red
Register, Inc.’s accreditation.

According to a letter of which I have optained a copy and posted as a
(pdf) at http://icann.org/correspondence/burnette-to-sundin-11sep09-en.pdf
and sent by
ICANN Director of Contractual Compliance Stacy Burnette, the registrar
was
violating many terms of its accreditation agreement.

Among those: not paying its accreditation fees to ICANN, failure to
maintain accurate contact information for the registrar, and failure
to provide access to its whois database.

Interesting how after two years of inaction. Suddenly ICANN has
stepped up enforcement, dropping a number of domain registrars, one
can only wounder if it's to scare others into
complience or perhaps silence as the dead line approaches..

To all who are either actively participating or are curious to our
recent
developments. The lack of open correspondence among network
administrators and the goings on of ICANN's current contractual
destiny as it stands is perplexing. It is apparent that various
countries on all continents are concerned as of this weekend. Due
to the deadline at the end of this month for ICANN and inquiries by
some american legislators, mixed signals are being sent to the key
people who run systems for ICANN participating countries just when
they need answers. Some are at this moment making preparations
to hedge their systems survival since they don't have a clue what's
going on.

One major revelation has transpired from thos using the GlobalDNA
network. The changeover process has amazed them in two key
areas. One is the speed and the other is the simplicity of switching.
Some members have been hesitant to switch due to lack of
understanding. However due to some straigtforward real-time
guidance the word is getting out quickly amongst countries due
to the word of mouth coming from IT administrators working around
the clock globally. This weekend has been targeted by them due
to traffic slowing on weekend days. It is obvious there is now going
to be a major push for other countries and companies to joing the
ranks of GlobalDNA. We are attending to everyone on a direct and
as needed basis even though it means putting alot of extra effort and
time into an orderly transition period until next months clarity. We
(hope) the governmental and administrative bodies currently connecting
the worlds internet traffic will not disrupt whatever happens by the
end
of October.
Please join this forum and give us feedback and whatever
you may know to help others. There is alot at stake for many
around the world.
