Subject: IATA's hand in the cookie jar

Message:

I am strongly opposed to IATA's proposal to oversee dot-travel. They represent only one segment of the industry, a segment that has a proven track record of being onesided (their side). A proper governing body would consist of all segments of the travel industry with equal representation of each. Allowing IATA total control of this enviroment is anit-competitive and anti-consumer at best.
Thank you,
