[governance] FOCUS - 'Basic Gripes'

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

I am sorry but somewhere midway between 50+ and 20 something, in my mid 
thirties, that makes very little sense.

Most of the abuse from rogue registrars has actually moved offshore and 
in tiny pockets compared to what it was earlier. And domain tasting 
using drop catching is a thing of the past since icann changed the 
costing model to eliminate incentives for that practice a while back. 
That 'semantic web' is as far from reality today as it was during the 
at large days.

And high fiancé bankers? :)
