Re: [ga] New TLD White Paper released

["John Palmer" <jp@ADNS.NET>]

Please explain why that is fair to auction off what is potentially the fruits of someone else's labor.

Some of us have been operating registries and have been supporting TLDs in
for almost 9 years now. Why can't we have the property that we have worked
hard to develop? 

You get NO support from me on this. Only the rich will be able to bid on this. My company
has already spent upwards of $300,000 on our investment. I should be able to protect that
investment by not having my business product stolen from me and auctioned off to some
fat cat.

Your proprsal is a non-starter.

Next....
