I agree.
This new contract benefits Verisign/NSI the most.
They get to keep .com, they get to keep their registrar, and they get
to have net/org spun off as restricted TLDs that do not compete with
.com for registrations.
The changes are to the benefit of Verisign/NSI, not to the benefit of
the internet community.
The original contract should be held up.
