"Rod Beckstrom [ICANN President], meanwhile, is stoking up his
sales pitch. "Time is short," he told a Beijing event last month.
"If you have not done so, now is the time to get expert advice and
get your marketing people engaged to take advantage of new
opportunities. If you need help there are many companies around
the world that offer this service." And don't think you can
simply ignore that golden $185,000 opportunity - who knows which
rivals could damage your business by getting there first? "If you
do not choose to apply," he said, "you should still pay attention
to those who do, and use the protections built into the program to
safeguard your brand or community."
...
But those former ICANN executives I've spoken to are outraged
that the body they once held dear is pursuing what they see as a
coldly greedy strategy that will confuse consumers, encourage
cybersquatting, and serve the interests of those who profit from
domain name registration."
