Intellectual Property Constituency's .NET/Verisign demands

[Tom Hensinger <thensing@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I, as a free citizen of the United States of America and the Internet, kindly 
ask ICANN to reject the Intellectual Property Constituency's request that as a 
condition of Verisign's ongoing management of the .NET top-level domain, that 
Verisign suspend any .NET domain that they receive copyright complaints on. 
This is heavy-handed, circumvents due process and the places the enforcement of 
copyright law into the hands of a corporation.

I also kindly ask that you reject the Intellectual Property Constituency's 
request that as a condition of Verisign's ongoing management of the .NET 
top-level domain, that anonymous and privacy-shielded .NET domains be 
abolished. Users of the internet, including those who utilize .NET domains, 
must be guaranteed their right to privacy unless compelled to reveal such in a 
court of law.

Thank you for your attention and consideration,

Tom Hensinger
