INAIC is back online. So are bogus whois records and collissions.

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
