[registrars] ICANN - Verisign - .org registry

[Larry Erlich <erlich@domainregistry.com>]

And the more that you read the
wackier it gets.

I hate to do this piecemeal,
but here is something else taken 
from the letter from Sclavos of Verisign
to Cerf of ICANN:

-- ICANN has agreed that, at a minimum, existing
-- registrants would be permitted to remain in the new .org 
-- registry for one renewal cycle under its new management. 
-- In addition, and as another part of the transition
-- process, all ICANN-accredited registrars would continue 
-- to be permitted to register qualifying names in the .org 
-- TLD for three years after termination of our operation
-- of the .org registry, during which period the new registry 
-- could develop whatever registration policies for the future 
-- it thought appropriate. Our objective is to provide
-- a permanent and affordable home on the Internet for 
-- the non-profit sector and in so doing make a major effort 
-- to close the digital divide on a worldwide scale.

One renewal cycle? Do any of you want to explain
that to your customers?

Qualifying names for three years???  
So you are out of the picture after that.

Same paragraph says:

"Our objective is to provide a permanent and affordable
home on the Internet for the non-profit sector and in so
doing make a major effort to close the digital divide
on a worldwide scale"

(Ridiculous)
