[ga] Snapnames partner comes out against Verisign's WLS

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

Trouble in paradise? See:

http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/nc-transfer/Arc00/msg00370.html

"Yet, I am advocating against the very policy that SnapNames endorses
and from which my company would benefit, simply because it is an unfair
policy. It eliminates competition. Were the task force to accept my
perspective and reject Verisign's proposal, my firm would lose money -
but I am proposing just that. The Verisign proposal is an exercise of
unfair trade practice and unfair restraint of trade."

"It continues to make attempts to establish (or re-establish) its
monopoly in at least some portions of the domain namespace. The current
WLS proposal constitutes nothing more than another such attempt. I
ardently reject  and urge you to reject  any proposal which limits
competition. Such limitations do not serve the consumer."

Kudos to @Com for their courage in supporting competition, and not
following others blindly. I wonder if those in the gTLD registry
constituency are capable of such independent thought and opinion, or
are they all lemmings led by their masters at Verisign?

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
