Message:
The At Large project was intended to be accessible to everyone and that's why it didn't impose any fee. Furthermore, for most non-US citizens it would be impossible to pay, way too complicated or too expensive. I don't have and can't have a credit card, even a debit card it's too expensive and this is common to may countries.               The only possible result would be to get rid of ICANN At Large.               Frankly, do you really expect someone to pay $500? For most people even a single $5 fee would seem too much. And multiply that with the number of members...               I think ICANN took reasonable precautions against registration frauds. Postal addresses were supposed to be different anyway.               This thread is offtopic, it should be moved to the offtopic forum where it belongs. -- Paul Chitescu pchitescu@pchitescu.myip.org  |  pchitescu@MetroNet.RO.EU.org http://pchitescu.myip.org/    |  http://PaulC.MetroNet.RO.EU.org/ ICQ:22641673
