Where does it state anywhere that any current .org registrants will have to
give up there names?  Granted that ICANN has stated that it intends to
return .org to its original purpose which has been mischaracterized as for
"non-profit organizations" only.  But I don't think there is anything in the
new agreements that define any procedures in this regard.  My understanding
is that those kinds of decisions will be made independent of the execution
of the new agreements if they are approved.  That includes what the
qualifications will be for new .org registrants and whether or not existing
registrants will be grand fathered.

This contract decides of the future of the ".org" mission and gives only 
one year to hundred of thousands of questionned ".org" holders to get out.

I just wander if this .org refocussing has been discussed anywhere. If this 
is just legal and feasible to force a DN holder out of its DN holdership. 
There will probably be thousands of legal actions against the iCANN which 
could resist only with the strong support of the USG and of the GAC. I just 
wander if the Verisign contract is not just a screen of smoke and the 
".org" charter enforcement not a way to trap the USG into supporting iCANN 
and forcing the GAC to accept the power of the iCANN: in several countries 
such a move is probably illegal, may be anti-constitutional (Chile?).

We saw some US allies pursuing that type of policy with some success in the 
past. I start beeing realy worried at the GAC/Staff relations as it 
develops. I am quite concerned by the "market monopoly enforcement theory" 
that some have proposed:

Obviously this is just a concern ....
