More information from the author (Ted Chan) of the petition ("
Bad For Business") ...
If you own any domain, this could affect YOU!
This affects anyone who owns a .com / .net / .org / .info / .biz and potentially anyone with a country code or sponsored top-level domain name.
1) An online petition opposing the proposed .biz/.info/.org registry agreements can be viewed at BadForBusiness.org
The petition is not limited to Americans. If you live outside of the U.S., you should still sign the petition and mention that you are doing business in the U.S.
Please sign the petition and get the word out to as many people as possible.
2) We have also started a Soapbox at Congress.org If you are a US resident, please contact your local members of Congress and let them know your opposition to the proposed contracts. This is very important and carries a great deal of weight. If you are a small
business owner, please remember to tell them.

3) Keep in mind that the proposed contracts can affect many people outside the domainer circle. Encourage family and friends to sign the petition. Among the concerns are the protection of small business, competition, fewer choices to shop online, worries about higher prices and the potential to restrict free speech. With a combined effort from everyone, we can make a difference.
Thank you all for your support.
