Goes, Netherlands, December 30th, 2006:
Martijn Burger, the head of the Internet Names Authorization & Information
Center, has had to bite the bullet and make a
deal with Herman Xennt. The agreement has not yet been
signed.
Xennt a former employee of INAIC was responsible
for commercializing the Inclusive Name Space and the PublicRoot. He also
helped himself to over $85,000 USD. The funds were embezzled from INAIC
in a complex scheme that involved an employee of UNIDT (now UnifiedRoot).
It is expected that as part of the deal worked out this past month the
stolen funds will now be treated as a loan from
INAIC to Herman Xennt and no criminal charges will be pursued.
Burger is hopeful that this latest agreement will put him in full control
of INAIC.
Burger has been trying to take back control from Herman Xennt
since August 2005. His attempts have been unsuccessful.
This past March
the courts in Amsterdam found that Burger had failed to hand over to Xennt
full control of INAIC as had been agreed to.
Though Judge Poelmann understood the significance of the ownership issue
the ruling still required that Burger and Xennt work together and keep
their original agreements in place. The fallout from the ruling has
left Burger in control of the INAIC organization while Xennt has had
control of it's assets, equipment and databases.
Burger was technically correct in
refusing Xennt exclusive ownership of the INAIC organizations. The INAIC
was originally designated to be the official representative body of the
PublicRoot and that it's members would be those people or organizations
who are TLD Holders. Exclusive ownership of the organization by Herman
Xennt would of disqualified INAIC from any legitimacy in the Inclusive
Name Space and PublicRoot.
Burger has given his permission that Xennt is allowed to operate two INAIC
registrars, UN1D is advertised as the
successor of UNIDT and TLD.Name
