<div dir="ltr"> Yet again backroom deals are constraining the internet and its
    original vision.  <br>
    <br>
    This from your own website - "It (ICANN) promotes competition and
    develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. Through its
    coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an
    important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet."<br>
    <br>
    How then does a secret deal with a single entity like Verisign which
    is for profit while you are non-profit in any promote competition.
    If Verisign doesn't want the .com TLD they can sell it not use it
    like a cash cow with ICANN's explicit and implicit agreement.<br>
    <br>
    If you continue on this path, be honest and change your raison
    d'etre.  I'd suggest, "Open to the highest bidder".<br><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#0000ff" style="font-size:small">_______________________________________________</font><div style="font-size:small"><i><font color="#0000ff">Wayne Sankarlal</font><font color="#9900ff"> , </font><font color="#0000ff">MBA, MS/CIS</font></i></div><div style="font-size:small"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><i><font color="#9900ff">Website Design & Development - Facebook Marketing</font></i></span></div><div style="font-size:small"><i style="font-size:12.8px"><font color="#0000ff">(416) 779-2231</font><font color="#9900ff"> |</font><font color="#0000ff"> <span style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="mailto:wsankarlal@gmail.com" target="_blank">wsankarlal@gmail.com</a></span></font></i></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div id="mt-signature">
