Russ and all, Looks like some more abuse on the part of AOL, which is by the way one of ICANN's dubious "Test Bed Registrars". Kinda figures that ICANN would be engaged in these sort of dubious activities. It seems yet again that the NTIA need to assert it's authority in conjunction with it's own White Paper and the MoU and now also with it's "Tentative Agreements" with ICANN and NSI. It is past time that these abuses be allowed to continue. domainiac wrote: > Dear Mr. Graves: > > The domain HELPING.org has a street address which is not a valid address > according to the US Postal service (see > http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/lookup_zip+4.html).
