[ga-abuse] #1 Request to subscribe to ICANN Announce.

["Alternate Chair" <patrick@quad.net.au>]

Hi Elisabeth

Can we subscribe to ICANN Announce using GA-ICANN?

You understand that everytime I post I get criticised by William X. Walsh
and others such as Jefsey Morfin.  That includes simple little things like
posting an ICANN Announce.  It is very tiresome.

Thank you.

Regards
Patrick

> (May 25, 2001) Marina del Rey, CA -- Today the Internet Corporation for
> Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and VeriSign Inc., formally entered
> into new agreements under which the Internet's .com, .net, and .org
> domains will be operated for the next several years. ICANN
> President/CEO, M. Stuart Lynn, applauded the completion of the new
> agreements, stating, "This is a positive step forward for the Internet
> community that remodels the landscape of the VeriSign agreements,
> bringing them into closer alignment with standard ICANN registry
> agreements.  The final documents reflect extensive community input that
> was vital to the final outcome."
>
> The agreements followed widespread discussions within the Internet
> community that resulted in several features being added as negotiations
> progressed.  The signed agreements addressed community concerns that had
> been raised by ICANN's Names Council and its member constituencies.
> ICANN's Board of Directors approved the revised agreements on April 2,
> 2001. "The ICANN process really worked", Lynn noted.

> Before the new agreements, VeriSign operated the Internet's .com, .net,
> and .org registries under agreements with ICANN and the U.S. Department
> of Commerce that could have extended to November 2007.  Under the new
> agreements, VeriSign has agreed that its right to operate the .org
> registry will expire in 2002.  The .net registry agreement will expire
> in June 30, 2005, and prior to that time will be opened for
> recompetition, unless market measurements indicate that an earlier
> expiration date is necessary for competitive reasons.  VeriSign will
> continue to operate the .com registry until at least the expiration
> date of the current agreement in 2007, but agreed to enhanced measures
> (including annual audits arranged by ICANN and made available to the
> US Government) to ensure that its registry-operation unit gives equal
> treatment to all domain name registrars, including VeriSign's
> registrar business.

> Under the 1999 agreements, the U.S. Commerce Department's approval was
> required for the replacement agreements. On May 18, the Commerce
> Department approved the agreements, after VeriSign agreed to a shorter
> term for the agreement concerning .net.
