Ok, so we all pretty much know the possible ramifications of this newly proposed scare tactic kiss your domain industry goodbye bill that has been introduced by Senator Olympia Snowe..now the question is, what can we all do to help prevent it other than just reading about it? Let us make this thread a think tank and contact resource for those wanting to not sit idle by the wayside and watch this unfold with their legs crossed.
Feel free to add your useful input...
Some useful links to get us started:
The bill in it's original proposed form:

Link to the Internet Commerce Assoc. website with a summary of it's ill effects on our business.

Domain Name Wire article with alot of useful information and resource links about this matter:
http://domainnamewire.com/2008/03/0...g-bill-or-reverse-cybersquatting-in-disguise/
If you don't get involved and do something NOW this business and it's future is going to literally be controlled by big business and taken out of our hands completely for the most part so it might be time to start looking for a day job because the prospects of having an open free domain market if this get's enacted are slim to none.
