[registrars] serious .info problem

["Ivan" <ivan@abac.com>]

Hi all,

Many generic .info names are taken in the IP sunrise period.

Examples:  "domain.info" "bank.info"  "banner.info"  "loan.info"
"account.info" etc. the list goes on and on up to tens of thousands
of domain names.

We have contacted Afilias about this issue, but did not get a satisfactory
response.

I urge Afilias to reconsider their action. Generic names, which are
illegally taken during the sunrise period with fake IP Registration numbers,
must be returned to the pool immediately. The lengthy and costly "sunset"
procedure should not apply to fraudulent transaction.

Regards,

Ivan Vachovsky,
