Re: [atlarge-discuss] Re: [atlarge-panel] MOTION PROPOSAL: was WG-WEB: responses to Jamie



Chris and all stakeholders or other interested parties and members,

  As has been pointed out time and time again, webalias/tocows, which
owns or is the registrant of record of deleteddomains.com is notoriously 
inaccurate.  This has been pointed out on the DNSO GA list forum quite
 a number of times on that forum.

swhois.net search yields:

obtaining
                 information about or related to a domain name's
registration
record.

                 Tucows makes this information available "as is," and
does not
guarantee its
                 accuracy.
==============

  Take note of the last record entry, and I quote again: "Tucows makes
this
information available "as is," and does not guarantee its accuracy."

  Ergo Chris, this information regarding ICANNATLARGE.ORG being
on hold is inaccurate.  Not surprising.  So the reference source you are
providing themselves, does not guarantee the accuracy of the
information,
and properly so, as at times, perhaps more often than not, it is
inaccurate.

  So let this be a lesson for you and everyone here on this forum.  One
should be careful to read ALL of the information and do ALL of the
checking
before making such judgments of this nature.

  Now, like I said, ICANNATLARGE.ORG is NOT on hold in reality,
it's name servers are not authoritative.  Do an NSLOOKUP on them
and the corresponding IP address for each Name server, and you will
or should see that they are not authoritative, and that, as such, are
misconfigured.
