DNF$: 6,430 Location: Florida | ICANN Is At It Again - React Fast ICANN has put the controversial new contract agreements for the .org, .info and .biz registries back on their agenda for a board meeting next Wednesday (Nov. 22). They seem bent on rushing these things through before anyone has time to react. You will recall that there was almost unanimous disapproval of these agreements in the first open public commentary period. So ICANN made some minor revisions and opened a very brief new commentary period so they can say few people objected to the "new revised" agreements. I think we need to log our objections to the revised agreements before the meeting which apparently can only be done by sending an email to revised-biz-info-org-agreements@icann.org (I understand the "official" comment period ended Nov. 14, but they are still accepting and posting comments). They should send you a reply with a link to follow to authenticate your email and it can take several hours for your comments to appear on the ICANN public comment page here: http://forum.icann.org/lists/revised...rg-agreements/ If you need to brush up on the revised contracts and the dangers they pose, read this very detailed protest letter that Phil Corwin, legal counsel for the Internet Commerce Association, sent to the ICANN board on Tuesday: http://forum.icann.org/lists/revised.../msg00015.html In addition, ICA President Bob Martin sent a letter today to U.S. Senator Ted Stevens who has already voiced dissatisfaction about ICANN's lack of transparency: http://www.dnjournal.com/docs/ica-se...nov17-2006.htm It looks like ICANN plans to keep hammering away at this, hoping to catch domain owners asleep, until they can get away with giving the registries unlimited pricing power over everyone's domains.

Country: | Re: ICANN Is At It Again - React Fast BUMP! And let's act now! E-mail sent. ICANN will face a strong, organized, worldwide uproar if they approve the revision of ORG/BIZ/INFO agreements that would allow the respective Registries to sneak tiered pricing. We will not let you take down the foundation of e-commerce!

Country: | Re: ICANN Is At It Again - React Fast Duke - Thanks for the heads up. I had lost track a bit in the past few weeks. Was able to review the latest developments and read ICANN forum letters. Submitted my thoughts on the matter.

Country: | Re: ICANN Is At It Again - React Fast I read your input Rick, well done. Time is short. Anyone who has not made their voice heard needs to do so. Email simply saying "I am opposed" can make a difference.

Country: | Re: ICANN Is At It Again - React Fast There are some excellent points being brought out in everyone's ICANN letters. If interested, I thought R. Goodwin's post was quite on the money too.
