I again regress back to November 2000, when clueless Esther Dyson spoke of IOD, "I don't like the business model." Most other Directors of that day remained silent, still, or nodded while mumbling under their collective breath.
But now we have registrars gaming the domain system, and registries ass-banging ICANN so hard that ICANN surrenders the fort to them.
Is it me?

Recently I read this story:
In fact, it was this story that made me aware of ICANNWatch.
Anyway I mailed the author - via a reply form, so I don't have the original - suggesting a sensible process to avoid having to evict cyber-squatters might be to automatically register companies' domains with the new TLD and give them a period in which to opt out.
It would avoid a lot of hassle for the companies that find their "digital real estate" is already occupied under a new TLD.
