A
day in the Life of JOEL DISINI |
|
The man who
kicked up a storm in cyberspace is a great benefactor to
residents of Botolan, Zambales.
BOTOLAN is a town in Zambales, about 2 hours of road
travel after passing Olongapo. This small rural
community is proud of its church located in the main
town plaza. Santa Monica Church, as the early friars
christened it, was carved from coral stones. Very unique
indeed.

appeal to all ISPs (03/27/2001) |
| |
On Friday,
March 16, 2001, at an ITECC hearing in Makati, JR
Contreras, Acting President of PISO, revealed his
intention to petition ICANN for control (i.e.-
redelegation) of the PH Domain, on behalf of a new
entity, PHNIC.

dotPH
Response to the Petition for Redelegation (03/27/2001) |
| |
We feel
that any move to redelegate control of the PH Domain to
a new non-profit entity, PHNIC, is a step backwards and
will retard the growth of PH as a domain. While the
concept of stakeholder consultation is a correct one, we
feel that there are better ways to achieve this, without
handicapping PH's ability to compete against COM and the
7 new gTLDs.
