Esther Dyson and Vinton Cerf Ready to Crack Down
What do Esther Dyson and Vinton Cerf do for an
encore after creating the ICANN mess ?...profit
from policing it of course...
Step 1. Create artificial scarcity in domain
names. [check]
Step 2. Create Registrar franchisees where none
were needed in the past. [check]
Step 3. Discover that Registrars and their
Resellers are stealing names, holding names
hostage, and demanding extortion for names to
be returned. [really ? act surprised and try
to imagine it will go away]
Step 4. Tell the U.S. Government that MORE
money is needed to fund the clean up of the
mess the U.S. Government PAID these people to
create.
Step 5. Fan the flames via clueless groups that
will not notice who started the fire. ...laugh all the way to the bank...nice job
Esther and Vint...you are masters of your domain

Josh Bourne, the coalition's president, said a 1999 federal consumer protection law against cybersquatting isn't deterring the practice and civil penalties -- which now range from $1,000 to $100,000 -- aren't enough, he added.
United as the Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse, 10 companies have hired the law firm Alston and Bird LLP to persuade federal lawmakers of the need to crack down against those who claim Web addresses, or domain names, that include -- or even resemble -- a legitimate company's trademark.
