No single company should have control of .com, especially, nor .net, nor any of the
historic TLDs. Verisign, in particular, should not have control of the registry
and their registrar business. It's anti competitive and there's no technical
justification for granting a monopoly. Further, as owner of a .org, I will
sue if you attempt to hijack my domain. I will sell it back to you for reassignment
if you're interested: $100,000,000 is adequate. This is not as absurd as it sounds:
legal precedent has granted domain names valuation, and any existing organization
which met the older standards for .org, and now fails to meet those standards and
is booted is likely to have an extremely difficult time finding a .com or other TLD
that's even remotely close to their original one. Who will compensate them
for the cost of buying a similar, acceptable TLD? Who will compensate them
for the cost of informing all interested parties of the new TLD, the costs of re-identifying
themselves? David Gessel
