 WLS, the Prairie Farmer station
From 1928 until the spring of 1960, WLS (which went on the air in 1924) aimed its programming at the farm families of the prairies of the Midwest.
Sharing (until the the mid-50's) the 870 (and later 890) spot on the dial with WENR, WLS was one of the nation's great broadcast stations.
Featuring a wealth of material about WLS artists, staff (and their families), it was as indispensible on the farm as the Sears Roebuck catalogue.

 ICANN | ICANN Bucharest Meeting Topic: VGRS Proposal for Wait-Listing Service | 19 May 2002
Because VGRS proposes to charge for the WLS service during the twelve-month trial, it is seeking an amendment to Appendix G. VGRS's current proposal grows out of a WLS proposal that it sent to the DNSO Registrars Constituency on 30 December 2001.
On 10 March 2002, the Registrars Constituency adopted a resolution opposing implementation of the WLS and urging ICANN to withhold permission for its implementation.
The WLS proposal raises the issue of whether Appendix G of the.com and.net registry agreements should be amended so that VeriSign can charge for the service during the twelve-month trial period.

 ISAA Condemns Weight Loss Surgery For Kids
WLS causes malabsorption, which deprives the body of critical nutrients, including calcium and potassium, which can lead to teenage osteoporosis, compromised immune systems and immunity-related diseases.
Other complications of WLS are painful gastrointestinal distress, leaking of gastric juices into the chest cavity, infection, deterioration of teeth (erosion of enamel caused by repeated vomiting), flatulence, uncomfortable and highly odorous bowel movements and/or loose stools.
Many WLS procedures have to be repeated, which substantially increases the risks of complications and death.

 ICANN | General Counsel's Analysis of VGRS's Request for Amendment to Registry Agreement | 17 April 2002
The proposed WLS is a registry service because, unlike the wait-listing services provided competitively by registrars, it is implemented by bypassing the normal return of deleted names to the available pool and by instead assigning them to the registrar and customer holding the reservation.
In the specific case of WLS, however, it is quite possible that some of the technically harmful effects of the registrar-level services (such as the high registry loads caused by "add storms") may justify instituting a registry-level WLS.
This judgment is reinforced by the Registrars Constituency vote opposing implementation of WLS and the fact that the Names Council Transfer Task Force is currently considering the WLS issue, with a report to the Board expected in June.

I encourage you to become a WLS advocate on this issue in solidarity with all those who are still suffering, and without hope, because they are blamed and damned for their overweight, rather than supported and assisted in their quest to regain their health.

The latest action comes after another group of registrars calling itself "The Domain Justice Coalition" sued ICANN to stop the launch of VeriSign's waitlist service when it was proposed in July 2003.
Derek Newman, a principal of the Seattle-based law firm of Newman and Newman and lead attorney representing the registrars in their suit against ICANN and VeriSign, said while other actions are about antitrust, his group's action is about consumer protection.
But under VeriSign's proposed WLS, Newman said, people will pay year after year for names they have little hope of getting, and will have to pay four times the cost of actually registering a domain name just to be on the waitlist.
