I wanted to >let you know that last Friday, ICANN voted yes on adoption of the proposal. >They voted yes, even though the ICANN WLS Task Force soundly rejected its >adoption. They voted yes, even though the outpouring of angry consumer >voices on the ICANN WLS forums and petitions clearly demonstrated that not >many were in favor of its adoption. Despite our best efforts to lead a >charge against this proposal, it has been accepted, and we must do our best >to move forward with it now. > >Many of you have shown your support of open competition in the secondary >market by e-mailing me, signing the anti-WLS petition, and posting comments >on the forum. From all of us at Dotster, thank you so much for your >support. Dotster is currently going through the appeals process, so we >remain optimistic that things will work out in favor of consumers. Whatever >ends up happening in the end, I promise that Dotster will try to work >within the new system to bring the most benefit to you, our customer. > >I have put together a comprehensive document outlining the history of the >WLS proposal, from its first introduction until last week's vote.
