It's funny because in July '07 RJ sent out a PM to all Namepros members inviting them to join Bodis, but nothing was sent out informing members of a bill that could threaten the entire domain industry. There's still
a lot of people who are clueless about the situation. People who could
donate money to the ICA. People who could
write to their Senators. People who could educate others of the contents of this bill. I've received email from Sedo, ICA, and other forums regarding this issue so I'm just a bit disappointed that the #1 domain forum hasn't taken the extra step to inform it's members. Having 1 thread tucked away in the "Industry News" section isn't enough.
I love Namepros but I had to get that off my chest.. anyways on to some good news:
The
Electronic Frontier Foundation is a non-profit organization that fights bad legislation relating to the internet. Today they voiced their opposition to the Snowe Bill in this
article . Hopefully more groups like the EFF will join the domain industry to fight this bill.
Until then it's
extremely important to:
- Donate to the ICA (better yet join). They are the only association that fights specifically for the rights of domain owners. They are currently working hard to fight this bill but they need your support!
- Write to your Senators! Here's how.
