I hope all of you will excuse my posting this on CFTalk but I feel it is important to all of us.
<snip> At the end of 2001, VeriSign proposed to ICANN a Domain Name Wait Listing Service (WLS) as a way to manage the registration of expiring domain names. This proposal includes a partnership between VeriSign and SnapNames, a competitor to Dotster and other registrars in the secondary domain market sector. This proposed partnership would effectively eliminate all other competition in the secondary market. <snip> This is an extract from a long email from Doster and I think is important enough to most of us to warrant posting here. Here are some url's with more information and links to register protests if you wish: - ICANN Forum http://forum.icann.org/wls/ PETITION AGAINST http://www.petitiononline.com/antiwls/petition.html There was no request from Dotster nor any incitement for me to post this here and I have no financial interest in this, I just feel it is important that this measure be opposed on the grounds of limiting competition and no doubt upping the costs of Domain Registration Services. Apologies to all if this inappropriate, my intentions are good.
