<p class=MsoNormal>Dear ARIN Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To strengthen education of high school education, even
outside the walls of such an institution, in Mai 2008 the students of the
Gymnasium Querfurt High School founded the Gymnasium Querfurt Broadcasting Channel,
an International organization. It’s bylaws were soon written and meant to
chronologically include all future amendments and extensions to the mission of
the organizations, these bylaws are known as the GQ RFCs, in honor of the Requests
for Change.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A few months afterwards the organizations was absorbed by
the GQHS and managed together with GQHS teachers. Three days ago from today,
this action was reversed together with our principal and the school assembly. The
GQBC administration, namely I, wanted to ensure the organization will be still administrated
according to its founding principles after my own graduation and those of my
fellow student network administrators.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3 official reasons were stated in the spin-off contract:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:24.75pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>The
fusion of GQBC with GQHS has never been authorized by a ratified GQ RFC. GQHS
rather received a temporary mandate to help GQBC growing in its first life
phases;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:24.75pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>GQ
RFC 1 clearly stated that GQBC is an independent organization with the mission
to support education. To maintain objectivity such an organization has to be
run independently from a school. We only remained a phrase advising that GQBC
originated from the GQHS on our website, and also GQBC will still provide services
for the GQHS it provided before (e.g. web transcripts); and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:24.75pt;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Due
to massive email, fax, and even telephone fraud attacks by an opponent of the
Public-Root (name intentionally omitted but we are sure everyone knows him),
which already satisfy the definition of terrorism, and the fact that GQ RFCs
did never grant GQBC the right to provide contact details of the GQHS to entities
other than educational institutions. GQBC amended its policies and the contact
page on gqbc-online.com to state that the only way for individuals and
companies outside the state of Sachsen-Anhalt to contact the school is through
a spam-filtered email address.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is entirely true that the attacker failed his goal to
knock down the development of a global school network (GQNET), and we can
proudly say it was not the fate of the pilot project for International
education to fail. The attacker will soon receive a message from our principal
stating the school is no longer responsible for his falsified claims and “scam
warnings” and he will have to immediately stop to write any faxes,
emails, or call the school.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>GQNET which was planned within the last weeks is now ready
to start. There will be three main departments the network consists of: an
Internet Service provider (GQNET.Connect) connecting all users to the GQNET ,
the .GQNET domain management (GQ NIC), and the team re-deploying the internal
GQHS network to serve educational resources to the global GQNET (GQNET next-gen
school network).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>GQNET.Connect is hereby officially introduced as the first
educational Internet Service Provider with multi-homed deployment which will
soon go on with the work I began, making IP addresses available for educational
purposes free of charge. And of course, GQNET.Connect is primarily based in
Michigan), therefore subject to be served by ARIN with IP addresses.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I hope we can soon find a way to get the important IP’s
without long discussions caused by commercial companies trying to reserve IP
addresses for their own prosper. The Web is an exponentially growing knowledge library
and not the stock market.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For those of you who want to benefit from a more inclusive name
space the Public-Root, root of the Internet2 and our Top Level Domain sponsor, provides,
go on <a href="http://inaic.com">http://inaic.com</a> to receive further
information on how to upgrade your desktop configurations and server hint files.
Users of the Public-Root have instant access to most GQNET resources. Further, the
Public-Root has master servers on all over the world and is therefore more
reliable than the commercial legacy root, which is mainly deployed on the East
and West coast of the US.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely yours,<o:p></o:p></p>
