 Of course Bill you are assuming that ICANN and registries and registrars don't care to hear the voice of registrants.  I would suggest that that type of approach is a good going-out-of business model, at least for commercial registries and registrars if not for ICANN and noncommercial registries and registrars.

Such is no doubt true of commercial registries and registrars, but doubtfully so for ICANN.  I strongly suspect that if people could figure out a way to put ICANN out of business, they would do so.  That's why I and tons of other people are working our . . . off to try to straighten out ICANN and hence avoid that. If that effort doesn't work out, well, we'll join the other effort.
 And please don't interpret this to mean that I do not think that individual domain name holders should not have a more direct voice.Chuck

I don't, because I know you do!

Thanks,
