DNSO Votes for Two ICANN Reform Measures

Posted by michael on from the baby-steps dept.

Jon Peterson writes "The DNSO General Assembly voted in favour of two key ICANN reform motions. This is a first victory on the long road to fixing ICANN, although it should be pointed out that ICANN is not bound by the outcome of this vote. It just makes it look even worse when/if it ignores it." We mentioned this in an earlier story.

  1. It's about time!!! by hbmartin · · Score: 2, Informative

    ICANN really has become a big, bullying organization. I'm not sure why it has stayed in power this long. They are money black-hole. For an example, when they were accepting submissions for new TLDs, the review fee was $50k. That's just for a chance a being looked at! Another example: to become a registrar(correct spelling:) it costs $10k just to be reviewed! Are they running a lottery? It's time for the openess of the internet to become pervasive at all levels.
