ICANN participation

<!--MARIA, THIS IS A COMMENT TAG AND WON'T SHOW UP AND IS USED TO EXPLAIN WHAT BIT IS WHAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO ADDING CODE ON A PAGE-->

<!--HERE IS AN INTRO TO WHAT WHOIS IS. IT MAY BE TOO LONG. I WILL ADD A LINK HERE THAT CLICKS DOWN TO THE TEXT SO YOU CAN ADD INFO UP HERE I.E. THE TOP, BUT PEOPLE CAN STILL JUMP STRAIGHT TO THE INFO IF THEY WANT-->

Welcome to the Whois information page where you can find out what Whois is, why it is important, why there has been so much argument over it, and where the resolution process is at the moment.

<!--THE BIT OF CODE JUST UNDERNEATH PROVIDES THE CUT-OFF FOR THE SUMMARY VIEW OF THIS PAGE-->

I got notice yesterday evening of a class action brought to in a US Court against RF, eNom and ICANN.

Although I can understand why the plaintiff is naming eNom and ICANN ( though i don't think that she will succeed in demonstrating that there were illegal conduct from both ) it is somewhat baffling why some other registrars and registries are left alone from this action.

On the process of trying to solve the problem ICANN stated that it had come to an agreement with the registries (all? some of them?) so domains would not be lost.

ICANN has changed the method by which it draws input into its public meetings - including the public forum - in an effort to make it easier to interact, and hence encourage greater interaction.
