Here is what has been done to safeguard "your" TLD holders: You have been exposed for the fraud and psychopath that you are. The matter in Europe has been investigated and the result is here: http://inaic.com/index.php?p=internet-terror You did not provide evidence of any sort, just your own writings and the writings of what appears to be a co-conspirator in your attempt to extort an ownership stake in UNIDT from the original owners (see the link above). I understand that (not sure on this one) your cohort Martijn Burger may have been involved in this as well - this is still under investigation by INAIC and the authorities at Public-Root.com and we will know, perhaps soon, the involvment (or perhaps lack of) of Mr. Burger in that offense. As a stakeholder in the Inclusive Namespace, one who has an on-going registry business into which over US$100k has been invested, I witnessed the complete destruction of the best (and perhaps last) opportunity for INS TLD holders to gain the visibility in the namespace that would propel the INS into the mainstream. That complete destruction was caused by you, Mr. Baptista. When you couldn't get Marty van Veluw to bow to your extortion attempts, you did exactly as you claimed you would and you destroyed the effort and along with it, probably the only remaining hope for the INS. After this mess, with the whole INS world in smoking ruins, ICANN was able to get the traction needed and launched a very clever plot to AGREE that many TLDs could be added to the root, except that they would get to decide which ones and would create a 1,000,000 Leah Gallegos's (whose .BIZ TLD they stole) by simply stealing what already exists, emptying out its registrants and selling that stolen property to whomever will pay them their $185K and $0.20 per registration-year. See here for what ICANN did to this poor hardworking woman: http://www.tldainc.org/news/98-arnis-alamo-anti-competitive-icann-and-dot-biz.html Now, all of you just imagine for a moment, an alternative history. Lets say, for the sake of argument that Joe got hit by a bus in Peterborough back in 2004. Lets say that he wasn't killed, but the driver, Tom Evans backed the bus over him several more times and he eventually was killed, and (Tom) was awarded the key to the city of Toronto by the police chief. So, Joe is dead (we can dream, can't we?) and doesn't go to Europe in 2005. He doesn't try to extort any shares from Mr. Van Veluw and Public-Root, UNIDT and INAIC's plans succeed and the ISP Tiscali, the nation of Turkey and many other European players join the INS. The INS gets traction and many people create TLDs and by the time ICANN gets around to its master plan to steal TLDs, you have alot of large players with deep pockets who can tear ICANN a new asshole in courtrooms across Europe and in the EU regulatory bodies. ICANN cannot steal TLDs from people who can now defend themselves, unlike Leah Gallegos who had no money to hire lawyers when her business was robbed from her by ICANN. The INS is now mainstream and the world is free from the monopolistic evil of ICANN. Oh, but lets come back to reality, shall we. Sorry, but we have to. Joe didn't get hit by a bus. He did go to Europe and did destroy the effort as you can see by visiting the link above. Where we stand today is that ICANN has now very cleverly adopoted the mantra of the INS - that of a cornucopia of TLDs, but only if they get to create them and still without any respect for the property rights of the current holders of those TLDs. To be frank with all of you, unless someone in the INS has deep pockets, ICANN will get away with it and we may as well just go home. As an officer of the TLDA, and an advocate of TLD holder's rights, (being a TLD holder myself), when I saw what Joe did in 2005, I immediatly determined that, whether or not he was a psychotic, a paid ICANN shill, or whatever, he was NO freind of INS TLD holders. He single-handedly destroyed the only major chance that the INS had to go mainstream and thus enabled ICANN to complete its conquest of the namespace and its destruction of a free industry by acts of wholesale theft of TLDs. In early 2007, Joe resurfaced and put on his air of authority, claiming that he had been hired by some TLD holders to be their "representative" and began pretending to have some right or authority over the TLDA. At that point, the TLDA had been dormant for several years, no one wanting to make any efforts after the 2005 debacle. As the last elected chairperson of the TLDA, I challenged him publically to stop claiming that he spoke for, or had any authority in the TLDA. As a matter of fact, Joe was never a member of the TLDA officially - he CHOSE not to join. A big battle ensued and I was called a villan by people, including at times, Karl Peters, one of our board members. I tried to get the other board members to pass a resolution condemning Joe for the great harm he did to our industry in 2005, but they sided with Joe. So, the battle raged. TLDA was restarted by Karl Peters and I eventually resigned (in disgust that they couldn't see the obvious things I saw about Joe's destructiveness). I tried to convince them that we needed to distance ourselves from him and that there was a minute, camel-through-the-eye-of-a-needle chance that we could maybe, resurrect the INS prospects. I eventually re-joined the TLDA. By then, Joe had insulted and abused everyone on the lists and eventually called Karl Peters, the chairperson at the time, a "welfare bum" and severely insulting his wife and family and then finally the other tossed Joe off the list for good. By then, it was too late. ICANN was in full theft-mode. We had wasted what little time we had left and ICANN was able to create their theft policy with no one to stop them. While it is still 12 - 18 months from execution, its a done deal because everyone else has given up and no one has any money. So, Joe, you ask what I say to the TLD holders who have been hurt? I say that I warned them all about you after what damage YOU did to them in 2005. I warned people over and over again. I think YOU need to answer the question, Joe: What have YOU done to help TLD holders in the INS? The answer is that you have done everything you could possibly do to destroy any hopes that they would ever be successful. You are brilliant at DESTROYING and I cannot find any evidence that you have ever BUILT anything in your life. I've answered the question - I've done quite alot for the INS and have been doing so since 1995. You need to answer for what you've done TO HARM THE INS. You are the one who has alot of explaining to do buddy, not me. Cheers, John ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Baptista To: ga at gnso.icann.org >> GA Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 3:37 PM Subject: [ga] John Palmer - it is time to come to account and what a perfect place for this to happen but on the GA. An open forum. Mr. Palmer - I am about to ask you a question on behalf of my TLD holders in your capacity as a root operator for the Public-dash-Root a.k.a. INAIC. And more generally in your capacity as a director of the TLDA. I understand this is a trade organization for TLD holders. The TLDA has investigated what happened in the Netherlands. The official record of events as recorded by the TLDA has been posted. Now considering the evidence provided what has been done to safe guard my TLD holders interests in their TLDs? I'm not the issue here John. But that question is the only question you need answer. But you won't. John - I'm with Hugh on this. The hundreds of people who purchased into the TLDA / INAIC scam want a solution. Not diversionary Joe Baptista tactics. You are a director of the TLDA. You are also an insider of the INAIC / Public-dash-Root / Worldroot ... etc. ... my golly Miss Molly what do you have to say to my TLD holders? What exactly did they buy from you guys when they purchased a TLD. Was it just a lot of hot air? Time to come to account .. regards joe baptista
