Potential changes in the Domain Industry - must read - GoFuckYourself.com

ICANN is about to renew the .org, .biz, and .info registry contracts
with a HUGE loophole to allow each registry to charge different
scaled pricing on a per-domain basis and to provide each registry
with a presumptive perpetual monopoly. This means your best domains
may very soon cost you thousands (or more) per year in renewal fees.
We need your help to halt the approval of these contract proposals.
Everyone who owns a domain and cares about its value should post a
comment TODAY to:

http://www.icann.org/announcements/a...-2-28jul06.htm

Its easy: Just email your comments to each of the three following
email addresses:

[email protected],
[email protected],
[email protected]
and then approve the email links they respond with.

The comment period will remain open until 5:00 PM PDT, August 28,
2006. THAT'S TODAY! The comments will be submitted to the ICANN Board
of Directors for the Board to consider at its meeting on September 13,
2006.

If Registries can set "market prices" for each .biz, .info, .org
domain name (ie. $500 or $1 million per year for cars.org or
Google.org etc.. ), then ICANN will have to provide Verisign the same
terms for .com and .net in 2012. ALL of your businesses could be in
serious jeopardy. So we all have a vested interest in this not
happening.

If you CHOOSE to remain silent the fallout will jeopardize all of our
futures. We need your help. Please take a moment to read the comments
others have posted, then create one of your own and mail it off.

giving registrars permision to fuck arround with your domain renewal prices dont mean it changes anything . registrars are strugling to keep their domain holders these days because the market is flooded with them , they can't afford doing such crap .
