Dear members,

In this article Ms. Lisa Bowman reports that;

"The board refused to turn the Web
addresses over to Kennedy,
saying it's relying on a new
mandate that it deal only with
personal names that are being
commercially exploited. "

Just where did this new mandate come from and you implemented on whos
behalf.
For some stupid reason I thought that is what we do here under the DNSO.

I just wonder.

Sincerely,
Eric

So far, rulings have been mixed on whether people have the right to shut =

Less clear, however, is the situation surrounding political figures. When=
