Subject: SUNRISE PERIOD!

Message:
 

 
Caution! The so called sunrise period in Afilias application allows up to 500,000 names to be pre registered by "trademark holders" (BIG BUSINESS) before the general public gets a chance!

How many names are in the dictionary?   LESS THAN 100,000    

How many names (first and/or last)      MAYBE 50,000

How many 1,2,3 letter domains?          LESS THAN 20,000

Do you think 300,000 trademark holders will take a shot at the above?

What's left for the small business people? leftovers again!

If a trademark holder already has their name in .com, why the sunrise period? why do they also need .web?????
Cocacola .web and microsoft.web are examples of domains easily returned to the trademark holder under IODs plan.
What happens if Cocacola and Microsoft fail to register during the sunrise period in Afilias plan?

THE SUNRISE PERIOD IS FOR THE AFILIAS CARTEL INSIDERS!
