Re: [ga] More on Sitefinder suspension
Dan and all former DNSO GA members,
No Dan, the clauses to which Andy was referring to do exist
and are used. As one that has done a number of these
sorts of USG contracts over the years I can certainly
attest to some of them.
BTW, as I recall Worldcom/com - MCI had two of their
contracts with the FCC canceled/suspended using these very clauses.
I believe either Wired or slashdot reported on that aspect
some time ago in a couple of their articles one of which
I posted to this forum, See archives for further info.
But Dan, I do not believe that there is a URL Reference
to these clauses on the NTIA web site. So suggesting
that they do not exist simply because you are unable
to find them or Andy not providing a URL reference
for them is a rather unreasonable suggestion at best...
And BTW Dan, one of those clauses that I think
Andy was referencing is Clause 52.217-9
Yet another DOC/NTIA contact to gain specific info
would be Carol A.Silverman 301-258-4506
