[registrars] Anyone signing the new .COM contract by the 30th? Responding to Jim Archer

[Sam BAVAFA]

Hi Jim, Robert and all,

First of all, i wish you a really good end of year (we do not make our new
year wished before the first january in France :-) superstitions :-)

Anyway... Regarding our concerns there are 3 points i would like to ask to
our community after saying that we already signed and returned the verisign
agreement weeks ago! :)

1- So we know exactely which are the points that differe from the last
"ICANN conform" one ?

2- if we know, do we know how these points are going to bring "bad" to us ?

3- Could we seriousely think about having a legal consultationbudget that
may help us, in these kind of situation to ask to a lawyer but with a strong
experience on these matters ?

Personnaly, i have my law degree and i just can say that in France, if even
i sign a "bad" contract, if the "bad" is really something significative the
court can undo my engagement. It means that if there is an un-equale power
position between the contractor and the contractant, the contract is just
not valid and can be successfully contested.

P.S. Do we also have any comment from someone in ICANN regarding this
verisign action ?

Thank you

Best Regards
Sam
