What's happening. The big business/trademark people are having a closed meeting in Washington to push through their demands. They refuse individual membership in the DNSO. It looks like they're going to set up a wrap-up right after the 22nd to railroad through their demands for the DNSO. Esther Dyson is giving the keynote speech on the 22nd. This looks like the ICANN Board is agreeing with the trademark people, and throwing the users out of the DNSO. This agenda of WIPO, INTA, and the ICC is going through if it isn't stopped dead right now. The DNSO.org hasn't the guts to oppose them. It's time for a statement from ICANN. If the fix is in, why waste everyone's time? On the other hand, if ICANN won't accept having the DNSO taken over by big business then let them say so, let them say so now, so the Internet community can negotiate fairly and find a compromise! __________________________________________________ To receive the digest version instead, send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To SUBSCRIBE forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNSUBSCRIBE, forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problems/suggestions regarding this list?
