IF ICANN does this, it will impact MILLIONS of domain users and Millions of people CAN be catalyzed to strong opposition lobbying efforts with voices in THOSE VERY same MILLIONS of .com sites to demand removal of ICANN authority due to breach of fiduciary trust for personal (corporate) gain.

The deal with VeriSign is structured in such a way as to be perceived as a bribe.

Times are changing whereas decisions made to impact multitudes by the few will be tolerated and accepted.

Inquiries into ANTI-TURST CAN be initiated and penalties well above the $20,000,000 ICANN plans to receive can be pressured by the public to be demanded.

These are just some of the very real consequences that CAN be enacted if this deal goes through. it will NOT take much encouragement to the MILLIONS that will be affected to be convinced. Particularly when the issue is impacting them financially.

in fact, support of this initiative IS what will be MOST difficult to garner from these very MILLIONS.

The opposition WILL rise and rise with EACH increase. That is undeniable and to be expected. Those affected will not be silenced
