	ISAA Educates About The Dangers of Weight Loss Surgery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		An unknown number of people died from WLS complications in 2001 -- their numbers unknown because deaths caused by WLS are often underreported or misdiagnosed.
		It is ISAA's belief that the public has not been properly informed about the dangers that WLS poses and why it should be avoided at all costs.
		ISAA will provide information on alternatives to WLS and ISAA would like to offer a memorial to those who lost their lives (and/or their quality of life) and their loved ones.

	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.

		WLS is based on a SnapNames-like pay-upfront service model, which was originally the dominant approach in the backorder market.
		WLS may have been a good idea when it was proposed two years ago—even though the DNSO voted 5-1 (with one abstention) against it—but the 'net and the market are changed for the better.
		The WLS is a solution to a problem that may never have existed, or at least has since already been solved.

		Responses from parties who object to WLS at the Registry level, but appear to be focused on the involvement of Verisign the Registrar and negative experiences they have had related to transfers, deletions or other processes which are not related to WLS itself
		The remaining three support the need for a standard deletions period, but two support that it need not be in place before WLS is implemented, while one supports considering it separately.

		The letter argues that WLS violates the FTC act and consumer protection laws because it "deceptively" makes it sound as if subscribers have a good chance of getting the domain name they are paying to queue for.
		Less plausibly, at least on first reading, the letter argues that the WLS is an illegal lottery (dropping a name doesn't seem to me to be a random event; whether a given name becomes available is based on the decision of a specific person.

	The Times They Are A' Changing
		I have been researching WLS for 2 years and I find the most comfort in your honest words.
		Of course, we owe our tools and successes to the courage and sacrifices of earlier generations of WLS patients, who offered up their bodies on the surgical table for the advancement of the science BEFORE the procedures were refined, perfected, insured and officially sanctioned.
		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.

	New Lawsuit Hits VeriSign and ICANN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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.
