Whats all this about ? Are you honestly suggesting boycotting the IEDR
because they have chosen to run their systems on whatever
harware/software they choose?

Waider, your right it would be very difficult to bycott the IEDR,
however not impossible. Could eveyone just refuse outright to register
anymore .ie's with them and register a complaint with ICAN? I like the
idea of ARSE, but I think that is more of a radical left far extreme
somewhere well over there move :-) Sorry Pron. Perhaps as a last resort
something like that could be done.
We would have to explain to the end user why we refuse to register
.ie's. Of course this would leave us in no position as Eircom would
still of course still register .ie's (Something to do with the brown
paper envelopes) So any action would be futile.
What about an axe the tax style campaign (Yes I know it did not work
then)
Cheers
