    >The Working Group C (WG-C) of the ICANN Domain Name Supporting
    >Organization (DNSO) is tasked with making recommendations for the
    addition
    >ofnew gTLDs to the internet's root so that they will become globally

    >activate in a "testbed" period, where different technical models and
    >policies will be developed and hopefully successfully deployed.

    will
    >affect the direction of the policy making decisions that will effect
    every

    freedoms
    >vs. intellectual property, to privacy (i.e. ICANN's mandatory database
    >escrow of personal contact information).
    >It is important that you take some time and review the proposals
    presented
    >by WG-C and comment on them.  It is equally important that you voice
    your
    >positions on the policies that will ultimately affect all internet
    users.

    >Issues revolving around domain names include the rights to publish
    >(domains are CONTENT) and the rights to access (without a domain, your
    >site is difficilt to reach, or unreachable), as well as your rights to
    >privacy (who has access to your personal information tied to your
    domain,

    >Leonardo v. Leonardo, Etoys v. Etoy, and the recent actions of the
    DVDCCA
    >are just a taste of the times to come unless proactive measures are
    taken.
    >Already the ICANN/WIPO/NSI policies for legacy domains, COM., ORG.,
    NET.,
    >are exhibiting their negative and opressive effects.  It is important
    to
    >stop these policies from ruling the new gTLDs that will soon come
    about,
    >in possibly a mixed environment of ICANN ruled TLDs (such as COM.,
    ORG.,
    >NET., and the "six to ten" ICANN gTLDs, and "FREE gTLDs" that are run
    by
    >autonomous entities, much as the country code ccTLDs are today--they
    are
    >run independently and are not subject to the rule of ICANN.
    >
    >Name.Space has in place what it believes a model policy for fair use of

    >and access to the internet namespace.  Technology and policy through
    >practice, evolved through the constant interaction with the users and
    the
    >systems which enable their access, to provide fairness and freedoms of
    >speech and privacy for the users of the internet.

    >The forced "gentrification" and "disneyfication" of cyberspace need not

    >extend to all aspects of it.  Freedoms are being negotiated away, far
    from
    >public view, by commercial contracts.  The internet is not borderless,
    nor
    >is it public--it is a private road connecting gated communities,
    subject
    >to the terms and conditions the commercial service agreements that bind

    it
    >all together, creating one interwoven private commercial space.  There
    is
    >no guaranteed free speech or Constitutional protections on this private

    >property.  There is potential coercion and "reverse censorship", much
    more
    >insidious than the "reverse hijacking" as in Etoys v. Etoy.  Network
    >Solutions, Inc. (NSI, a/k/a f/k/a/ InterNIC)has won the right in court
    >First Amendment protection, as a private company, NOT to publish
    anything
    >it judges inappropriate.  Their First Amendment rights to Free Speech
    are
    >protected over YOURS because they own the PROPERTY that provides you
    with
    >their domain services.
    >
    >When Thing.net was cut off by their upstream provider, many cried
    >"CENSORSHIP".  Perhaps it was, in spirit, but the Denial of Service
    (DoS)
    >attack was in fact a violation of the commercial use policy and service

    >agreement between Thing.net and their upstream provider.

    >The days are counting down to when the last of your rights will be
