Nastic Gryzunova. Seine: issue 108

I Nomami, one of the small indigenous Indian tribes living in the Amazon region, is shocked (“I’m shocked, shocked!”) that some lady from Florida named Mercedes Meyer registered the domain yanomami.com and is now trying to sell it for 25 thousand dollars. Equally busy are yanomami.net and yanomami.org. The tribe, which still leads a completely primitive life (according to the ideas of the industrial community, of course - I know what political correctness is), plans to take away the domain. This will be handled by the Pro-Yanomami Commission , which is responsible for protecting the interests of the tribe. The action is almost as meaningful as the presence of a separate domain zone for the progressive seals from Heard and McDonald Islands , but to each their own. “They don’t trade in the name of the Yanomami,” you see.

In any case, now I finally understand what RosNIIROS was proceeding from when in 1997 it refused the Russian Journal to register domain russian.ru. Apparently, from the thesis “Russians are not for sale.” True, the logic of protecting the nation from domain name invaders does not explain at all what this worthy organization proceeded from when, after some time, it allowed the registration of the russian.ru domain to AntLogic , which is engaged in completely non-national printing.
