Comment on the .NET registry renewal & URS

[Tony Hayes <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no foundation in any ICANN policy process for imposing new gTLD
“rights protections” on incumbent gTLDs without careful study and
deliberation -- after seeing how they work, or don’t, at new gTLDs.

It’s fundamentally unfair to impose URS on .NET registrants. Individuals who
wish to acquire future domains under new gTLDs would be notified in advance
that they will be subject to URS. However, .NET domains have already been
acquired, often at considerable expense, with the understanding that
registration and use would only be subject to possible UDRP review.
