Millions of little guys, the ORG domain owners and their visitors, about to be screwed
in a deal to keep the pockets of a few fat cats, at VeriSign, lined with a steady
revenue stream for the next six years. All the while, a well spun press release tells
us how this deal best serves the Internet community, tactfully repeating the word
"community" no less than thirteen times. So what's new? As an owner of several
ORG domains, registered in the belief that it was the most appropriate TLD for my
non-commercial, non-network information sites, well established under their current
ORG names, I am appalled that ICANN would even consider a deal that could potentially
lead to the loss of my domains. But why am I not surprised?
