It is you who is making a mockery of this industry, not I.

As far as doing damage, I have never authorised any member of NetRegistry
to discuss any financial activities (if any) between Web Access and your
company.

I do find it revealing, Harry, that of all people on this list, you chose to

it? You stand exposed, Harry. Try and do yourself as little damage as you
can.

I think there is little point in taking you seriously - for my part you can
say what you like, I will not be responding to anything you write from here
on and I urge the rest of the list to make their own judgements and act
accordingly.

For the record and the benefit of the list:

NetRegistry tendered in an open and accountable tender for the contract to
host the AUNIC database. We did this in return for advertising on the AUNIC
website. Our tender won, because we were astute enough to pitch it in a way
that addressed AUDA's objectives and constraints.

I'm sure that all who use this service recognise the vast improvement in
service and performance since NetRegistry started providing this service.

If anyone has an opinion on the suitability of this arrangement, I am more
than happy to debate it off list.

And Harry, thank you for finally settling your bill.

Regards

Larry Bloch
Chief Executive Officer

All and Chris

Recently an individual posting to this list was banned from posting due to
inappropriate remarks and personal attacks.

My question is this. Does the ban apply only to their false identity - or
does it apply to the individual.

The individual in question used the name Dominic Main (a NetRegistry domain
administrator role account), a Start email address and admitted he posts to
the list regularly under his real name. I find it distasteful to say the
least that this individual is allowed to continue posting to this list,
having already been kicked off.

For those interested, its actually fairly easy to identify who this
individual is, as one needs look only at who started becoming active soon
after the pseudo Domenic Main was banned. My opinion is that the tone of the
two postings leaves little to the imagination. NetRegistry has hard evidence
as to the identity of the postings.

In any event, it is my expectation that the ban applies not to the virtual
moniker assumed by the individual, but in fact to that individual. Or are we
to attribute the substance of an individual to an email address rather than
to the person?

Chris, can you respond to this?

Regards

Larry Bloch
Chief Executive Officer
