In re a new .NET contract

[Greg <greg@xxxxxxxx>]

To whom it may concern;

I have reviewed the IPC's misguided and distasteful request that any new 
contract with VeriSign to manage the .NET domain require that a uniform 
rapid suspension (URS) system be made available.
The requirements proposed by the IPC are nothing but a thinly veiled 
attempt at circumventing  the due process guarantees for all parties 
that are contained in existing laws and procedures governing lawsuits.  
My legal rights and protections as a long-time owner of numerous domains 
would be severely curtailed or eliminated by a system which requires 
little or no notice, no actual proof of wrong-doing, let alone any 
charges actually being brought in any legal environment.
A basic, fundamental legal principle (and right) in my country is that 
one is innocent until proven guilty.  The IPC proposal that one be 
guilty and stripped of their rights merely by a back-room whisper, 
rumor, gossip and or other underhanded skullduggery is reprehensible at 
best!  The IPC proposal strips me of my rights to due process and would 
required that I must bear the full burden of proving myself innocent of 
any accusation or charge that may not even have ever been brought before 
any impartial judicial system
The proposed draconian suspension of access by mere innuendo would 
circumvent the existing legal system and protection of individual rights 
and cause irreparable damage to the value of my domains and my 
reputation, solely for the financial benefit of an elite group, the 
dues-paying members of the IPC
Please do _not_ require URS as part of any new .NET contract.

Thank you,
