RE: Employ Media sTLD Charter Amendment
Dear Chairman Dengate Thrush and Members of the Board:
I am writing on behalf of Dandy Project LLC, to urge you to reject Employ
Media's request for authority to permit second level registration of strings
that do not correspond to an employer's name in the .jobs sponsored top level
domain. My
organization would be directly and adversely affected by this request and
therefore opposes the unilateral expansion of the .jobs charter to encompass
regional and industry-specific second-level registrations.
Since 1993, the community of online employment service companies--job boards,
associations, staffing firms, newspapers and other publications that operate
job posting and/or resume search databases--has effectively served working men
and women and employers worldwide. These same organizations have also
significantly improved the career prospects of veterans, minorities,
disadvantaged persons and those affected by natural disasters such as Hurricane
Katrina.
The separate and distinct communities of employers, staffing agencies, third
party recruiters, job boards, and even career services are now threatened by
the proposed expansion of the .jobs top level domain (TLD). The charter holder
is attempting to extend the application of the TLD from its approved
community--direct employers--into the online employment services community by
introducing geocentric (i.e., Atlanta.jobs, NewYork.jobs, Athens.jobs) and
occupation specific (i..e, nurse.jobs, salesperson.jobs,
systemsanalyst.jobs) web sites. It now has a proposal to implement this plan
before the governing board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names &
Numbers (ICANN).
This proposal violates both the spirit and the letter of the charter holder's
contract with ICANN. No less important, it will grievously harm the online
employment services community and therefore my organization by confusing the
job seekers and employers who have long been the customers of the community.
Sincerely,
Mykola Soldatenko, DandyProject LLC
