Another thing that was missed in the hearing was the voice of the
"clueless end-user". Eric Link, the organizer of the hearing,
refused to let me speak, or any of the other spokesmen for the
end-users that I proposed. If I'd been allowed to say my piece, I
would have said:
"As far as I'm concerned, and all the others like me agree, we'd
rather pay NSI $35 with no strings attached than pay an ICANN
registrar $15 and have to sign that insane anti-user contract that
ICANN has imposed as part of the Regisrar Accreditation Policy. What
good is saving fifteen dollars a year, if I have to sign away all my
constitutional rights, accept liability for other people's lawsuits,
and agree to have my domain name taken away from me with cause?
Hell, NSI was bad enough. But not this! No!!!!!"
