Hello ICANN,<br>
<br>
This is nothing more than extortion !!! Here we go again - same Crap
that we have come to expect ICANN to dish out on a plate and expect
everyone to eat it with a smile.<br>
<br>
<b>The Problems With This Proposal :<br>
<br>
</b>1. This does nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, for the consumer side
of this equation. A bill that goes from $20 to $75,000. Are you
INSANE!<br>
<br>
2. You want to talk lawsuites? See if you don't get your ass sued
off
on this one. Especially, if this issue gravitates to the .com arena.<br>
<br>
3. All I smell is SHEER GREED ! Why is tiered pricing needed
for
something that already has a low fixed cost to deliver to the consumer
before the markup? Why do the registrars need to bend the public over
a barrel? Are they not happy with a tidy profit ? Must they
act like
EXXON and expect like profits.<br>
<br>
4. Sounds like a concession, or more like a "give away", from Vint
Cerf and folks to the registrars because they are tired of taking heat
from them.<br>
<br>
5. Comment period ? Almost no one knows about this
crazy proposal -
only hardcore Net experts like myself. <br>
<br>
6. It seems like this may be designed to test out the limits of the
public and then propose a softer version that is less dramatic that
might pass, so as to have a underhanded way of getting what you want.<br>
<br>
