That's rather circular reasoning isn't it? Define the sponsoring community as "people who support us" and then you have the the support of the sponsoring by definition. Brilliant!
If this trick works on ICANN, then I will implement my idea for a sponsored TLD: .giveQmoney
The way it works is that anybody who wants to give me money is part of the sponsoring community, and anybody who doesn't isn't. Simple, right?
What's that you say? You don't want a .giveQmoney domain, but you're concerned about the impact on your established brands and existing .com sites if somebody registers {yourdomainhere}.giveQmoney domains? No worries! You can shield against people treading on your intellectual property or diluting your brand/marks by doing a simple defensive registration of {yourdomainhere}.giveQmoney, for the low, low price of $2000 per domain.
Thank you ICM for showing me the way to early retirement!! From here forward, never let it be said that Stuart Lawley has done nothing for this industry....
