Objection

["Gary Gloc" <g@xxxxxxx>]

To the Board of Directors of ICANN,

I am writing to note my strong objection to the terms and conditions of the
proposed contracts for the .info/.biz/.org TLD.

In particular the elimination of price caps, the introduction of tiered
pricing and the strengthening of presumptive renewal are terms that are not
in the best interest of registrants and will hinder the growth and
development of online businesses.

 

org is used heavily by charities and non-profit organisations: what they
gonna do start charging charities thousands for using their domains? Shame
on them! You can't get more money grabbing than that! What they going to do
send an email to an organistaion like: http://www.jbd.org/ (Jewish Blind and
Disabled) and thousand like them saying you got a three letter domain gives
us thousand or you'll lose your domain.

I strongly urge to you to reject these contracts and re-start the
negotiation process taking into account the upcoming recommendations of your
own policy committee (GNSO) and to advocate strongly for the interests of
the broad internet community to produce a balanced and fair contract.

Respectfully,

GARY GLOC
