A Commentary by Karl Auerbach

Executive Summary | A short summary of the situation | |
|
Opinions | I have a number of strong opinions regarding NSF's actions. I've put those on a page by themselves so you can look at them or not. | |
|
Background | This set of pages give useful background information. | |
|
Relevant Laws | This section contains the relevant laws and documents, including the NSF-NSI cooperative agreement and its amendments. | |
|
My Privacy Act Interaction with NSF | This section contains my initial request and NSF's reply | |
|
Analysis | This section contains my analysis of NSF's position. As one might expect, I find NSF's arguments to be less than compelling and, indeed, often faulty. | |
|
The Implications of NSF's Position | This section explores the side effects of NSF's position. For example, it explores how NSF has foreclosed it's ability to obtain from Network Solutions, Inc, the database for which NSF has paid several millions of dollars of taxpayer money. | |
