You're about to get screwed by ICANN!!!!

[BidNo]

I am intentionally cross-posting to make sure everyone knows about this significant isssue. Full thread can be found here; http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?t=191102

Domainer response has been less than sufficient. Here's the latest from ICANN:

"....[A]a delay in a vote is not justified....A conclusion that differs from council member advice doe not indicate the Board "ignored" the advice."

Any doubt this is being railroaded? The org contract doesn't even expire until 2009! There are now less than five hours for YOU to send one email that may permanently change the face of the internet by awarding essential monopolies with significant increases in fees.

If you haven't done so, send an email to [email protected] (and then acknowledge as requested).

You can simply state:

"I am opposed to these contracts as written."

or

"I am opposed to approval of these contracts without additional time for public input."

There are no requirements on age or country of origin. If YOU do not act, expect the consequences.

They won't be able to say there was no negative feedback to their plans.

Send an email and keep informed.

This could be really bad for parts of our industry if this is allowed to go through.

It will also set a terrible precedent for other TLDs that might decide to follow suit.

Your voice is important! Please send an email....

How soon could/would this new pricing structure come into play and start actively affecting us?


And wouldn't there have to be "some" justification for the price increases, if they weren't across the board. As in "all .net's are now 30$" opposed to "sex.net is 10k to renew" while "urkelserection.net" is still 6.99$ at Godaddy?

And, my last question is, if you had any valuable domains in these TLD's NOW, could you not reg them for maybe another 5 years at the current pricing and just say "screw off" to ICANN instead?


I'm asking, not trying to start some flamewar. Sad I need to state that but there is always someone that will go off if you don't, anymore.

If you haven't sent an email, please do so NOW; time is very short. Another twenty emails will make it hard for ICANN to dismiss opposition to these sweetheart deals at your expense.
