Ah, so, having been cheated out of a gTLD, by a domain name pirate and
the dispute resolution procedures, which are prohibitive, and, by an
ICANN that refuses to either acknowledge, or respond to, emails voicing
concern about the prohibitive dispute resolution procedures, then, you
are saying that I am also cheated out of having any say, and, that I
have to just grin and bear the treachery, and, that, having a say about
such things, is a privilege that is restricted to only those who are so
rich, that they can buy "justice", a product to be bought and sold?

Thus, having a say, is indeed limited to an elite class, and, the common
man, who is not of the elite rich class, has no say. What about common
suffrage?

I thought that having a say, ws available to all who had a legitimate
interest. Obviously I was wrong. Having a say, appears to also be a
product, to be bought and sold, to the highest bidders, and, limited to
the pirates and the rich.

It really makes a person wonder about the integrity of the Internet, if
this is how it is to be administered.

So, the injustice is to be perpetuated.

What about sub-domain names? Do they count?
