Re: [ga] Membership Drive

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Joanna I think I found the thread for my domain name sale concept.  You know
our local PTA calls it a membership drive when they want my money. It is
called psychological investment. We should also note that the mainstream press
is becoming interested in ICANN, sadly almost all negative.

When a church wants to conduct some outreach, it combines it with funding and
has a
bakesale combined with some fun and games and music.  I leave the legalities
to
those more organized than I.

I propose a digital virtual all net domain name blind auction for the benefit
of the
GA.  Within the day I will have a name or two to donate in my company's name.
My
company in return will get to flag wave it's donation and thereby drive eager
participants to the auction and thereby cross market the GA. (I guess I could
donate ICANNTALK.com since I don't have time to develop that site. But I was
hoping
to put the donated Net Sol List archives there).  Leah can you get us a good
dotBIZ
name I am sure the publicity would not hurt your cause.  Mr. Tucows certainly
you
could use some good will about now.  Mr. Walsh we know you have some old
domains
just sitting in your attic come on bust out.  Mr. Corliss will you please ask
the
TLDA to come up with a name or two.  Who is here from dotCN it would be a kick
to
have a domain name in that wonderful language.   I think we need some serious
umpf
so that WECANN make some news and pull the THEYCANN up from its bottoms.

When you all complain about negative posts and derisive infighting, be careful
what
you ask for in replacement, this feel good crap is nauseating.

ps. Is NetSol.com being used?
