No, it looks like the old NSI-InterNIC site.
The new Registry site would:
NOT have a huge link to NSI
NOT allow users to register domains
BE aimed at all Registrars equally
INFORM visitors how to find a Registrar and how the system works
SUPPORT the Registrars equally
I look forward to the day when I can phone up a Registry office who will
actually enthusiastically work with me to increase the numbers of
registrations. When I feel that I am getting support from a party who
doesn't regard me as little more than an interloper. Who isn't watching
everything I do and using it to their own advantage.
I would like to see a Registry site that makes all this very clear. A site
that sets out explicitly the wall between the Registrars and the Registry.
That sets out who is working for the Registry and what my rights and
obligations are. That sets out what the Registry is and isn't allowed to do
with the data.
That's what a Registry site would look like. And in a world in which the
customers needs came first, it would be located at http://www.internic.net,
not hidden away in a corner.
