<p class=MsoNormal>Dear VI WG,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now is the time to rollout new competition and new gTLDs
that will service the growth and future of the Net. Now is not the time
to tamper with tried and true systems. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States was led by
cries for innovation and unwinding of the regulations that had long held a
steady hand in the financial markets. Few relatively small experiments
ultimately had the unintended, unanticipated and domino-like effect of the
collapse of multiple financial institutions. As one failure precipitated
another, it soon became evident that the damage could not be constrained, or
easily reversed. In the end, the public trust was lost in not only in the
institutions themselves but also in the regulatory bodies which had heard but
not heeded the call for restraint. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>With stakes high for serving the public interest, and
preserving the security and stability of the Internet, tampering with a proven
model is not an option – not for us, nor for the millions of registrants,
websites, listserves and other systems which depend on the domain names we
offer. It is far easier to determine the right structure to drive
behavior, than to police conduct after the fact.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PIR hereby submits a proposal which relies on the most basic
of principles, as well as some innovative ideas. In the interest of
delivering this proposal to the Working Group by today’s deadline, we provide a
framework here, and will follow with further details and explanations. We look
forward to the discussion today, and in the days and weeks ahead. Please find
our new proposal for our discussion attached. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best, <o:p></o:p></p>
