He has also been one of the major advocates for the IAHC. The IAHC has not followed through with registries as promised and now we have brokers out there pre-registering people in Top Level Domains that do not exist and do not have TLD Name Servers. Mr. Michael Dillon has supported the actions of these brokers and claims they are providing a useful service. Does NANOG support that kind of activity ? ============================================================= Re: IANA/ISI/USC/UCLA (Was: Address Space) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ .To: inet-access@earth.com .Subject: Re: IANA/ISI/USC/UCLA (Was: Address Space) .From: Michael Dillon <michael@memra.com> .Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 17:41:29 -0700 (PDT) .In-Reply-To: <3.0.1.32.19970429170232.006af84c@jcnis.com> .List-Admin: inet-access-request@earth.com (subscribe/unsubscribe requests) .Organization: Memra Software Inc. - Internet consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Tue, 29 Apr 1997, Patrick Gilmore wrote:

Sorry if I took it too far.

I was mostly concerned about your description of IANA because there are a number of people and organizations who are spreading misinformation and pure FUD about IANA in and attempt to get the U.S. government to usurp IANA's authority and enforce a restricted monopoly system of domain names. I personally am opposed to both the Internic/NSI schemes http://www.netsol.com/papers/internet.html and the eDNS schemes http://www.edns.net and the name.space schemes http://www.pgpmedia.com/ns./com/reg_noframe.html One strategy that these people are using is to claim that IANA does not really exist or to claim that IANA has no authority to do what it has done for many years or that someone else (DOD, USC, FNC, ...) really is in charge of the IANA. I know it can be hard to figure out what's really going on with so much FUD being distributed so I don't blame you for misunderstanding the relationships between USC and IANA.
