Greetings all!

So based on this email, as a proud member of the "aint nobody" section
I can only conclude that my suggestion still has merit and while not
original does seem to be a common sense solution.

Additionally, since as you state, the EDU's dont cost anything there is
no financial reason for NSI to control the edu domains. They (NSI)
have nothing to lose but control.

Have they stated a reason why? And isnt there some arbitration process
to escalate to ICANN? I know that may be lengthy but my experience with
NSI is that you have to go thru all the motions no matter what, escalate
,etc.

Again, that may not matter to NSI since no money is involved. Their
concept however arrogant may be that since you arent a paying 
customer you may not matter. Still shoddy, if true.
