Rally call should be NO taxation without representation. This settlement is
ALL wrong in so many ways.

1. WildcardDNS/SiteFinder scheme
2. CLS/Expired domain monopoly
3. Perpetual presumptive renewal clause
4. $200M R&D commitment disappears
5. Traffic data sales
6. Appendix Y disappears
7. ICANN fee increases
8. 7% a year domain price increases

How can ICANN justify increased fees to both themselves and Verisign without
even a hint of protection or service to the consumers?

I have one question.  If this settlement is approved (Bad) does ICANN
officially become a subsidiary of Verisign?
