But information about Afilias' operational performance should be available. The 7 new tlds handed out in 2000 were intended as a proof of concept, contracts included rigorous reporting requirements, everything from technical performance compliance to marketing plans. And that information should have been made public. Info at ICANNWatch <http://www.icannwatch.org/article.php?sid=923&mode=&order=0> Thanks, Adam

Do they meet their SLAs? Does their code conform with the EPP spec? How's internal performance? Are security procedures really in place? There are no public studies by reputable sources that have examined the technical performance of the Afilias registries and I certainly don't see any public facilities available that allow me to make that assessment. The paper trail stops. I can't do technical due diligence and it is pretty clear that nobody doing the .org evaluations did any due diligence. That may be appropriate for pitching a .com business plan or writing an OSI standard, but it isn't my understanding of how you run a public service on the Internet.
