Well.....let the real fun begin.....

Another first find from our very own Reporter Ross. You always seem to be on top of the latest breaking domain news.

I don’t think we are going to see much from this law firm, so don’t get your hopes up.

I wish there's a crystal ball smiley here, because mine's saying neither ICANN nor
eNom are going to be held liable. But then, stranger things have happened.

Dave, you're more legally minded than me, although I know you're not a lawyer, but I think it is exactly this kind of lawsuit that is needed enjoining both ICANN and eNom to this class action lawsuit. I think they are both culpable in this fiasco. We don't yet know much details about the lawsuit but it could be a very significant and groundbreaking suit or it could simply be defeated by all the small print. It's going to be interesting to watch. Since it's a class action, presumably others can join in. Although, not being a lawyer, I've no idea if the machinations will allow this after the suit has begun.

Thanks Ross. It was an interesting read.

ICANN Lisbon The Dummit Law Firm announced today ...

Formerly known as Dummit, Downe and Saakemin.






no, not really.

I don't think ICANN or Enom will suffer in this case but its good to see legal action being taken.

Some people thought I was kidding.

I've said enough :bomb:

Kidding about what?

I think they are both culpable in this fiasco.
They are both culpable here, and should be held accountable.

I agree, but less because of the power of ICANN and Enom and more for the lack of depth of Dummit.

Registerfly has removed the ICANN logo today. Will Kevin partner with an accredited registrar as a reseller and rise again like a phoenix from the ashes? Stay tuned…

Since it's a class action, presumably others can join in.
That is the idea, but as I have said, no one should really get their hopes up here.

Even in arguably successful class actions – which I don’t think this will be – the damages (in my opinion) are seldom equitably distributed.

I from start hold ICANN responsible because they stepped in too late, what did I say? Much too late. Looking and reading their letters to RF and Enom this has been a long time ago when the problem started. That time also Enom does not go free as most of the domains which were messed up belonged to them as register. No I do think it's very good to sue them all and with hope for the outcome I will wait.

doesnt godaddy use enom?

doesnt godaddy use enom?

Nope.

The tricky part is showing both eNom and ICANN were negligent in performing the
terms of their respective contracts. But that's for Dummit to figure out.

Surf to them and what do you see?
