Fatal flaws and subsequent negotiations

[Andy Gardner <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Those of us that have been watching ICANN for sometime will remember  
the disaster that happened when a poorly drafted contract (Hi Joe  
Sims!) was signed between ICANN and Verisign.
When ICANN discovered just how many holes were in the contract they  
had to come crawling back to Verisign on their hands and knees and  
Verisign had them by the testicles and were able to "negotiate"  
things in Verisign's favour while agreeing to remove the holes.
THIS TIME, someone has spotted the holes PRIOR to the contract being  
signed and ICANN HAD DAMN WELL BETTER take the holes out of it BEFORE  
the signing takes place, or it will find itself being the pillow  
biter once again.
Well, actually the REGISTRANTS will be the pillow biters, but we  
don't have any representation, do we? Sadly, we have to rely on ICANN  
to do the right thing.
THE REGISTRANTS GET SCREWED AGAIN!
