Interesting reading from Adrian Kinderis

[Laurie Patton]

And the lengths others seem to be going to cause dissention. I’m still struggling to see this as anything more than a power play, and a fight waged by people with vested interests. Nobody has actually identified anything fundamentally wrong with the way domain names are being administered as far as I can see.

This is getting too bizarre. Why do you care what I think?

That’s what an Internet forum is for. No answer it is then.

What is your real name "Snoopy"? How many domain names do you own? How many have you sold over the past five years? How much did you price-gouge out of each of the people who actually needed domain names you acquired for no other purposee than rent-seeking?

Laurie, your obviously not aware that an auDA Director (EK) regularly purchases domain names on the expired auctions. In fact EK has a large portfolio – certainly more than Snoopy who has less than 30. Would the you call him a “rent seeker” or a “price gouger”?

The fact is that auDA policy allows domain monetization.

I was just on wiki and here's their definition of rent seekers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking

"Attempts at capture of regulatory agencies to gain a coercive monopoly can result in advantages for the rent seeker in a market while imposing disadvantages on (incorrupt) competitors."

You could not make this stuff up. Speaking of stuff ups, thanks for the heads up on rent seekers Laurie.

This is a direct quote from an email I received overnight from one of your industry colleagues. “Don’t worry about those muppets over at dntrade. It is literally “high-school” over there.” QED!

Laurie is a troll. Back to ignoring him. Bye Laurie.

The sad thing is, it's the domain owners paying indirectly for this circus.

For every $22 pa you pay for your domains, $3 is going to Afilias to pay this clown.

Agree. To me is is concerning that the registry is involved in politics, signing up members, getting “moderated” on blogs etc.
