This is the most unfair and reactionary proposal to have come from a
DNS provider. And yet, outrageous as it may at first appear, it is a
natural evolution of the present process being conducted by ICANN,
WIPO, and the DOC. It is the foreseeable product of giving power in
the DNS to entrenched big business, whose primary interest is the
elimination of competition while expanding its own market share.
Exclusion is the name of their game. That's spelled RESTRAINT OF
TRADE.
