We know we have all been conned - it started with the $50,000 submission fee for
companies wanting to be considered for the management of the .info registry - without
apparently there being clear selection criteria stated.Read the list of office
holders of ICANN and that of Afilias and your suspicions should be raised.
Read
the business interests of the Afilias office holders and laugh at ICANN's rationale
about new TLDs increasing competition.
Read Afilias's winning bid document and
compare it with the realities of the .info launch and you will laugh and cry.
All
of you look at your credit card accounts for your preregistration costs and you won't
laugh.
Keep whinging and bitching my friends. Our silence would produce no changes
other than increased instances of abuses of public trust.
