No obvious improvements jump out at me, it's concise, informative and makes it clear* what actions can be taken.

It seems to me that points 2 ( write to senators ) and 3 ( contribute to ICA legal/lobbying costs ) are the most important actions that everyone** needs to take.

* The ica donation checkout process is a bit clunky
** Huge thanks to all you domainers in the USA who take the time to write to your senator. Not sure who us internationals can write to. I suspect that even if this bill is defeated, as long as the registry is in the hands of a company/organisation which can be compelled by the legislation of a single government, we will see new variations of it in the future.

It looks Great -RJ-

And for all of you acting like -RJ- was setting on his hands here .... Shame on you.
It was being discussed already. I don't think you'll find many others in this Industry that cares as much about our rights or his fellow domainers than -RJ- ....


******

Several people on another Board have been discussing the fact that not all people interested in this Bill are within the U.S. and Also not all have extra cash around to spend on memberships and donations.
One suggestion I seen is something I've said myself in the past when there was something like the Tsunami's and other natural disasters we've all witnessed.
Donating links/traffic/blog posts or whatever you can toward awareness is just as good IMO. If you see it on Digg or Stumbleupon etc ... Vote for it or make a post !
People mention Boycotts above .... that works to - But also let those Companies know WHY you're doing so .... They all have contact pages or info somewhere - Contact them.

Special "Charity Ribbon," perhaps? Perhaps a little title for the user's postbit for a certain level $NP donation.

Just ideas here, but a way that the little fish can still contribute and be recognized for doing so.

That's a good post RJ...my suggestions are:

-some peeps may miss the thread, put a message up like the one lately about the LLLL.com scammers.

-This may not be able to be pulled off BUT I propose a "biggest pledger" or whatever, contest between namepros and dnf. members choose which side to contribute to with ALL monies going to ICA and bragging rights to the winning forum...could be a fun way to get some $$$buzz going.

So if jos smoe has a lil shop in the middle of nowhere named 123xyz they can really take any domain name or domain with it's likeness? This is crazy whats next? An email like: This is to inform you that we have have been monitoring your website history and noticed you have visited blahblah.com store 25 times last week without buying anything. Is anything out of bounds?

I have a question, call me stupid, but if Company A in the USA sees the domain name abc.com and decide that they want it, but the owner is based in a country far outside the USA, does this matter? If the Legal owner is a different country than Company A, can any legal action occur?

- If the registrar is in the US, they can be compelled to give up the domain.
- The .com registry is run by Verisign, a US company subject to US laws.

So, as long as your domain doesn't have a trademarked name in it, and has real WhoIS info, you're in the clear?

This bill can have a worldwide ripple effect.
However I seem to support the move against typos of corporations as they INDEED mislead.

In response to:
Please sign the petition at http://www.SnoweBill.com!

I want to so much! But the above site simply asks me to donate money to ICA. I tried their search find the petition to sign...did not lead me anywhere. Can I sign this petition without having to spend money?
