"The Fix is In": ICANN's "Digital Archery" to decide order of new gTLD processing http://j.mp/HvI9XJ (This message in Google+) - - - And no matter where the arrows hit, the monied interests of the domainers and the rest domain-industrial complex -- ultimately sucking billions of dollars from the rest of the Internet ecosystem for their own enrichment-- will be toasting the suckers being fleeced. While rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic, the ruling class rejoices, while the serfs in steerage go down with the ship. It's all become a game to ICANN, and "the fix is in." --Lauren-- ----- Forwarded message from Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> ----- Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 02:43:22 -0400 From: Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> Subject: "Digital Archery" to decide order of new gTLD processing Reply-To: joly@punkcast.com To: Lauren Weinstein <lauren@vortex.com> Cc: dave <dave@farber.net> http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/tas/batching-basics The batching process is activated if significantly more than 500 applications are received. Each applicant will be notified to register into an online system to set a future time target. The ability of applicants to "hit" that target at the selected time will be used to determine which applications are placed into the first, or subsequent batches. Next, applicants will return to the online system on that day and time and try to hit submit as close as they can to their target time. It's kind of like a game of digital archery. First you set the target and then you try to hit it with as much accuracy as you can. These two times (i.e., the target time and recorded time) are compared, and the absolute difference between the two is an applicant's score in the secondary timestamp. This is the number that will be used to determine placement within a batch. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - ----- End forwarded message ----- --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
