RE: [gnso-whois-wg] Comments on WWG report draft 1.5

Steve,

Your comment reminds me of the VeriSign-ICANN lawsuit:
 two parties collude and decide to solve their
problems by screwing a third party (the registrant).

Let those who use the service pay for the service;
anything else constitutes an unacceptable tax that
ICANN is not empowered to levy.
