"57 percent of those currently registered"[1]
Only 57% ? Dictator Cerf Will Raise the Bar to 60%
Nice try Registrars, but no cigar. The ICANN
Dictator will just "re-spin" the required bar for
consensus to be 60%. Reach that level and he
will raise it to 75%. Get a clue, Cerf is
laughing all the way to the bank.
Registrars would be better off putting up their
own copy of the .COM servers and show that they
can collectively operate them for pennies per
year per domain. That of course will not matter
when Verisign and their ICANN division get
ready to role out the new technology that makes
Registrars go away, or become equal to any other
user.
Opposition to ICANN-VeriSign Proposal Grows
Feb 15, 2006
Posted by CircleID Reporter
Eight of the world’s largest domain registrars have sent an open letter to ICANN Chairman Vint Cerf, stating their formal opposition to the revised proposition with VeriSign for continued control of the Internet registry.
The eight signatories, which lay claim to 25 million domain names, or 57 percent of those currently registered, are GoDaddy, Network Solutions, Tucows, Register.com, BulkRegister, Schlund + Partner AG, Melbourne IT and Intercosmos Media Group.
