VeriSign/NSI Proposes Domain Name Wait Listing Service

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the step-one-underpants-step-three-profit dept.

David Harris writes: "Newsbytes and the folks over at DotcomScoop.com have good stories about VeriSign's proposal to start a "Wait Listing Service" (WLS) that would allow consumers to buy domain names before they expire. As with anything that has to do with VeriSign/Network Solutions the "WLS" ain't all it cracked up to be and there is opposition from the ICANN community. I'm not sure I like the idea of auctioning off domains before they expire either." CD: To quote Don Marti: "DNS is a consensus reality."

    Well, I went to your web page. With an IE browser. My friend, I think it's you that sucks. Standard or not, I don't think you've noticed that netscape sucks, and netscape 6 is the only adequate thing they've put out in years. Your open source zealotry is tiring, as it is any where else. If you're going to put up a page, don't be a prick about it. Besides what neato features did you put up that IE doesn't render correctly?

    Or is this some kind of lame ass retaliation for microsoft doing the same thing on some other site?
