Is network solutions being less than candid about the risks of its poorly desined shared registry system?
Gordon Cook
the domain policy list..... Does this filling have the same legal
requirements as an S-1? The only mention discussion of the shared
registry system that I saw was on pages 38-39. i could find no
evidence in the discussion of what look to me like some very serious
RISKs to investors hidden in the shared registry system ...and
ticking like a bomb waiting to go off.
item ....some members of the NSOL RAB were exceedingly critical of
parts of the protocol design. discussion of the concerns has been a
recent part of both the IETF list and the NSOL domain policy
list.......
One of the discussants and RAB members has publicly asked NSOL to
free him from his non disclosure agreement so that he may publish the
details of his concerns in the appropriate fora. To my knowledge
NSOL has refused to do so. By this refusal it looks to me that NSOL
feels that it must hide the fact that at least one of its experts
feels that it has implemented a shared registry system protocol with
serious operational flaws.
Furthermore NSOL is participating now in a system as shown by
comments on the domain policy list over the last three weeks that
from an ordinary common business practice point of view is so flawed
as to be unworkable over the long run. the whole bloody thing, if
not promptly corrected, is waiting to blow sky high.
These risks are KNOWN to those of us who follow this closely..... yet
I see no mention of them in the prospectus that NSOL filed. why not?
should not NSOL amend that prospectus immediately!? What risks is
it taking if it doesn't do so?
disclaimer: i have no financial interest of any kind in NSOL or its
stock. if i did I'd sell NOW and take my profits while they were
still there.
