font-size:10pt;"><FONT face="Courier New">We note&nbsp;that ICANN not only 
ignored the vast majority of first- round comments, including ours, which were 
against the introduction of an unlimited number of new gTLDs, the removal of 
price caps, and other matters, but ICANN introduced changes to the guidebook 
that were the exact opposite of the recommendations, including those of the US 
Department of Commerce and US Department of Justice, which called 
for:<BR><BR></FONT><PRE style="MARGIN: 0em">ICANN's giving greater 
consideration to consumer interests.</PRE><BR><TT>ICANN carefully weighing 
potential consumer harms against potential consumer benefits before adding new 
gTLDs and renewing new gTLD registry agreements.</TT><BR><BR><TT>ICANN to 
establish competitive mechanisms for authorizing new gTLDs and renewals of gTLD 
registry agreements whereby prospective gTLD operators would compete for gTLDs 
by proposing registry terms, including maximum fee schedules, that would 
provide consumer benefits.</TT><BR><BR><TT>ICANN of course not only ignored 
both recommendations, but did the exact 
<STRONG>opposite</STRONG>.</TT><BR><BR><TT>One can't help but feel disturbed 
that ICANN can not only overlook high quality input like that provided by the 
DOJ, but do the exact opposite. If the DOJ's comments are simply disregarded, 
how much weight are my comments or anyone else's going to be 
afforded?</TT></span></body></html>
