Re: [atlarge-discuss] Our New Name Isn't...

["Richard Henderson" <richardhenderson@ntlworld.com>]

The present owner of icannatlarge.org is unable to transfer the name to the
panel.

www.icannatlarge.org is presently "On Hold"

This can be seen if you go to a Deleted Domains site like:

http://www.deleteddomains.com/cgi-bin/browse.pl

Show: .org
Domains that were: "deleted or placed on hold"
Enter: "in the last 60 days"
that "contain"
the letters "icann"

CLICK "Show Domains"

...and you'll see that www.icannatlarge.org has been "On Hold" since
09-29-02

Therefore yes, David, I would prefer that we move for the second choice
(www.atlarge.org)

Richard

A preferential ballot overcomes this by rankings being re-distributed
as the least popular drops off.  There is IMO no question about the
result.

All we nee the panel to do is ask the current holder of
icannatlarge.org to immediately transfer it to the name of this
organisation and make it resolve.  If they are unwilling to do this
then implement the second choice.
