If only ICANN actually had policies about anything.
The decisions thus far have been completely inconsistant on almost every single
front. They want to review business plans for new TLD applicants, which is a
policy decision, but don't want to interfere on other similar issues. It's like
a child. Likes something one minute and not the next. Vint, an organization
reflects it's leadership. When will ICANN have some?

proxy Whois service
Hi Chris,
That's exactly the point. A proxy service is
not a new idea, but now that GoDaddy has patent protection for it, what
does that mean to their competitors in the domain registration business?
How will this affect the reshaping of ICANN's Whois policy?

how is this new?
patents are always being granted, trademarks
too, that do nothing but confuse people and that should never be
granted.
Isn't that the same that has already been being
done elsewhere?

GoDaddy was granted U.S. patent #7,130,878 on
October 31,2006 for proxy domain name registration.
