Go Daddy Sues VeriSign Over Site Finder

• Comment posted Sep 22, 2003 8:43 pm PDT — by George Kirikos
  I'm pleased to see that the registrars are growing cajones, and not putting up with the Verisign abuse. They're setting the example for what ICANN should be doing. I find it very interesting that the Intellectual Property Constituency of the…

Can VeriSign Sue You Over SiteFinder?

  In a business law course I took years ago, the Professor gave the following example: Every day, Cindy takes a jog around High Park. Observing this, Chuck says to Cindy "My dog is for sale for $100. If you jog…

NAT: Just Say No

• Comment posted Nov 09, 2003 7:43 pm PST — by George Kirikos
  I agree with you 100%. What really, really bothers me is that in the past 25 years of the PC revolution, computers are still so hard to use. Was it the same 25 years after the telephone was invented, or…

  I agree with you, Phil. The key is, as you said, "given a correct firewall configuration". When IPv6 rolls out here, I'd likely take advantage of it properly, as I can be pretty confident about having a correct firewall configuration,…

  Right, I didn't mean to imply it was the ultimate in security—"security through obscurity" never is the best choice. But, if all IP addresses were "public", would that be better, rather than having the option to obscure things a little?…

• Comment posted Oct 26, 2003 7:01 pm PST — by George Kirikos
  NAT is useful for security, and need not be a bad thing, even if IPv6 is widely deployed. I'd rather have my company's PCs behind a firewall/router that exposes only 1 IP address, instead of having a situation where the…

An Unsanctioned Whois Database

  I posted a similar idea last winter, in a post on the GA list—see here, i.e. a "whois.txt" like a robots.txt file. I don't see it as a replacement to WHOIS, though (I like the status quo), just a supplement…

Market Forces Should Control Registry Services?

• Comment posted Dec 02, 2003 9:12 pm PST — by George Kirikos
  There's a consensus against SiteFinder, and also against WLS. Consensus *is* possible to achieve—getting ICANN's inept board members to take their head out of the sand would be a step in the right direction, to recognize when the community consensus…

Recent WHOIS Report Overlooking Fundamental Issue?

  The author didn't understand DNS when he wrote "According to domain name registry, Verisign, the domain name database system—called the WHOIS service directory—receives well over 11 billion queries per day in just two top-level domains." Those are DNS queries (e.g.…

The Site Finder Report: Dr. Stephen Crocker, Chair of the Committee

  One other thing—has there been any effort exerted by ICANN to get back the money VeriSign received from their abuse of wildcarding?

• Comment posted Jul 15, 2004 5:42 pm PDT — by George Kirikos
  Keep up the good work, Steve. Don't let the paper tiger VeriSign try to bully the committee. One point VeriSign likes to attempt to make is that the report lacked "data" to back its positions. However it was very clear…

The Site Finder Reprise

• Comment posted Jul 23, 2004 5:04 am PDT — by George Kirikos
  Security isn't an absolute concept—it's a relative one. I'm entirely happy with a system that would cost on the order of $6*(37)^60 per year (or more) to "break", just as I'd be happy with a $10 bicycle lock protecting a…

Hijacking of Panix.com: A Call for An Emergency Rollback Procedure

  The Panix.com theft wasn't even the biggest theft this weekend. Some adult sites (and mainstream too) were also hijacked, with traffic exceeding 500,000 unique visitors/day (i.e. Alexa top 2000 site, whereas Panix's traffic is much smaller, probably 5000 to 10,000…

A Day Which Will Live in Infamy: ICANN Board Approves VeriSign Settlement

Nation of Cameroon Typo-Squats the Entire .com Space

  Google.cm is a top 100,000 Alexa site (which likely means 5,000+ visitors/day). Extrapolate that to all domains, and I would not be surprised if that traffic is worth at least $3 million/yr.

Tiered (Variable) Pricing Compromise?

  Suppose you have a consulting contract with a registry, for $300/hr that ends in 3 years. You come to them in 2006, before the term of the contract is over, that you want $750/hr, and that you want to perpetually…

  Keep dreaming—no compromises on this issue. The registries keep asking for "more, more, more", and the public has kept saying "no, no, no." Indeed, if there's an incentive for a registry to earn more money from a domain if it…
