Seems to me that domains are property which is leasehold, ie if the owner fails to pay the lease (registration fee) they lose their lease.<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/26/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Guys,<br>This is something that will have a major impact on us all: ARE DOMAINS<br>&quot;PROPERTY&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;This has been a question that has bobbled back and forth in<br>lawsuits and articles, opinion letters submitted by attorneys and
<br>personal/corporate interests.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; We thought we&#39;d put it to rest by letting the Global Community manifest<br>their own opinions.<br>We&#39;re encouraging participation as this will have a significant bearing on<br>
domain governance going forward.<br><br>Vote at: <a href="http://www.InternetCommerce.org">www.InternetCommerce.org</a><br><br>Thank you all.<br><br>-Jude<br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________
