Where did Sylvie Barak go to when she wrote this Artikel. To Berlin? What a piece of shit artikel. Get your act together and be a real journalist instead of mocking the Duth and give them a German accent and German words. Or she must be so oblivious that she doesn't even know what she talking about. She should be gobsmacked !

I don't speak freaky deaky Dutch.

So where's the source of this ICANN article?

hahahahha
So many german words what a joke.

And Samuel it's really true a red it before on a few dutch websites.

Indeed 'twain', it's a luxembourg outfit and it's fishy, I quote the site:

Is .co.nl an official ICANN approved extension?

The .nl is an ICANN approved extension and is run by SIDN, the Dutch registry. .co.nl domains are official third level domains of this .nl extension and therefore not an approved extension in itself. But the .co.nl happens to have a strong international appearance.
Who is the founder and operator of the CO.NL Operator?

The CO.NL Operator is operated and founded by EuroDNS S.A. This Luxembourgish company is the largest multi-tld of Europe, has an extensive experience with the management of domain names and is familiar in the ICANN community.
What is the governance structure of the CO.NL Operator?

The operator is owned by EuroDNS S.A.

So basically they paid off some people that run the .nl TLD's to allow their little money-scam in disregards of the rules about .nl domain names (rules I think are silly in the first place but nm that).

I don't see any announcement on co.nl. Seems like this person has just setup a domain registration system around his co.nl domain name.

Lies, damn lies and the Dutch.

We are Dutch, not German ;-)

Who the hell would want to be identified with the dutch? Apart perhaps the opposition in zimbabwe maybe I guess.
