The problem is that there are legitimate reasons for gathering statistics that companies routinely do, which they should not be required to reveal to their competitors. Note that Domainz is a competitor to many other companies engaged in business related to domain registration. ISOCNZ may have a conflict of interest in dictating policy in this instance.
IMHO, ISOCNZ will have no confilict of interest. If we write a policy, Domainz will follow it. If that disadvantages Domainz, then there's a problem with the Domainz business model (I don't think there is :) Even if it does disadvantage Domainz (and I can't honestly see how, Joe), they will follow the policy laid down by the Society. Domainz would not be permitted to not follow an official policy in order to disadvantage a competitor If the policy specifies what stats are required to be on the webpage, that's what will appear. What's next, Joe? ;-) Cheers Mark Harris mark.harris(a)isocnz.org.nz Councillor, Internet Society of New Zealand "A waist is a terrible thing to mind" --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
