Alexa method assigned some ICANN TLDs to wrong parties

Open dnsguru opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

tl;dr: The .WEB and .SPA allocations were missed in the bootstrap development and were caught by the Alexa 100k approach, but were assigned to the wrong parties.

.WEB ended up with Verisign, but Handshake.org's assigned it as claimable by 1&1 IONOS .SPA ended up assigning it to the Malaysian Government

From #6
