Received this rather disturbing news today from Ken McCarthy’s newsletter. I’m printing it verbatim as it’s important. Please read and take action!

“This effects everyone in the Internet industry.

Please give this your attention today…

ICANN, the government-created monopoly/bureaucracy has absolute control over the large portions of the domain name system.

Recently, they quietly slipped through a proposal that makes it possible to change the current domain name system from a simple domain registration free to variable pricing based on the
“market value” of the domain.

People I know who follow domain industry news closely are up in arms about this and I was concerned enough to write ICANN directly myself.

Today - Monday - is the last day for public comment.

This is an issue of major importance for anyone who has built a business on the Internet or who plans to.

For info about what these changes may mean to your business here - and how you can help
stop them - go here:
