[registrars] GNSO's role in the SiteFinder affair

[Tim Ruiz]

Jean-Michel,

I would think that root level wildcards in the DNS on COM and NET would
be a "substantive policy relating to generic top-level domains."

Dear all,

Reading once again the ICANN's bylaws it looks like the GNSO council's
role within ICANN is very limited:

ICANN bylaws, Article X, section 1:
"responsible for developing and recommending to the ICANN Board
substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains"

So I'm wondering how our voice about the SiteFinder will be heard from
the council. Looks like that matter is more between ICANN staff and
Verisign .... also the way Verisign respnded to ICANN ignoring all the
IAB and SESAC reports really worry me.

Does Verisgn have the right to do watether they want on Internet ????
