All,
Again, poor william seems to have been confused, as is not surprising
considering the "Source" of his information is rather inaccurate
in context.
To Wit from:

"HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 6, 1999--
Melbourne IT Commences Registrar Services in .Com,
.Net and .Org
Network Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSOL.O) today
announced that
Melbourne IT/Internet Names Worldwide, Australia's
leading Domain Name
registrar has begun to register the global top level
domain names in
the .com, .net and .org through the Network Solutions'
Shared
Registration System (SRS).
Melbourne IT/Internet Names Worldwide began to
utilize Network
Solutions' SRS this past week making it the first
non-U.S. provider of
registrar services in the .com, .net and .org top level
domains.
"It is a testament to Melbourne IT that they have
implemented
their system in such a short period," said David
Holtzman, chief
technology officer of Network Solutions."
And also goes on to state, which leads to the confusion that William
is evidently experiencing....
""I would like to personally thank the NSI Registry team, on
behalf of the Melbourne IT technical team, for their
assistance in
getting us up and running. The rollout of our production
system went
smoothly and we have not experienced any problems so far.
As we sign
on channel partners and our registration volumes increase
in the
coming weeks, I trust the experience will be just as
smooth," stated
David Taylor, technical project manager of Melbourne
IT/Internet Names
Worldwide."
