What's this deal about InterNIC forwarding all request to WorldNIC? If I send in a (filled out) registration template to hostmaster () internic net, it's completed by InterNIC... I think the real fraud is in WorldNIC and other registrars (like Netnames in the UK) selling vanity names in country TLDs. IANA encourages this. WorldNIC has an offer for $17,545 USD that will register a domain in all 72 TLDs (or 5 domains in all 72 TLDs for $87,725 USD)...
I'm CC'ing this to Chuck Gomes at InterNIC. I'd really love to hear verification that this is true. Mr Gomes? Care to provide comments on the possibility that NSI is defrauding the Internet community with this plan? -- Steven J.
