ICANN Blames Melbourne IT for Panix Domain Hijacking
ICANN's current RAA (Registrar Accreditation Agreement) lacks a profound amount of teeth.
I make no judgement but do note: http://www.icann.org/correspondence/tonkin-to-cole-27jan05.htm The CEO of Melbourne IT received a call from the the CEO of panix.com on Sunday. This was referred to the legal team which informed the CEO of panix.com that Melbourne IT staff would first need to investigate the authenticity of the claims made. Staff performed further checks to authenticate the request, and reverted the DNS information to its orginal state as stored in Melbourne IT's systems around 9:30am on Monday. Melbourne IT also received calls from Verisign staff on Monday morning (AEST). In other words, they delayed a full day before acting to mitigate the damage. I also don't see any discussion on what ICANN was during during the hijack situation; maybe I missed that part. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
