         Currently, the editors of ICANNWatch are Michael Froomkin, David 
Post, Milton Mueller, Ted Byfield, David Farber, and me.  You can read 
about all of us at <http://www.icannwatch.org/essays/editors.htm> (and you 
should visit the site regularly, by all means, to read the articles).

         It appears that *all* domains registered through register.com 
carry a "you may be able to buy this domain name through Afternic" legend 
in the whois output.  (Indeed, if you do a whois search on register.com 
itself, you'll see it there too.)  We certainly didn't put it there.  It 
might be worth moving the domain away from register.com just to avoid it . . .
