Eliminating Registry-Registrar separation within the TLD would:
- Negate 10 years of successful competition
- Create unfair pricing
- Enable unfair access to competitive data
Eliminating Registry-Registrar separation within the TLD would:
where registrars can own a new TLD registry and/or provide technical back-end registry services, as long as they do not act as a registrar with respect to their own TLD.
It is already a successful policy model. We need to keep it to preserve the competition.
In ICANN's zeal to derive new revenue, money outweighs consumer protections.This is the height of irresponsibility and bad for the Internet.
Separation of registries and registrars is one of the key tools that protects consumers for marketplace abuses.
I would urge ICANN not to change the current status quo, rather enhance it for the support of new gLTDs.
The ICANN proposed registry/registrar cross-ownership can be expected to set in motion consequences that will harm security and stability.
We believe this gives ability to select the best provider for the given customer, both support and technically wise.
We do support this letter as we firmly believe that past has proven this concept to be fair and reasonable.
We now have a stable situation in which the wholesale and retail functions are separate -- where is there any need to change this?
We support this letter because of potential conflict of interests, et al. data privacy.
As a student eager to move forward into our information-fed future, I am agree with this letter!
The concerns about privacy obviously have been widely ignored in the previous current discussion
I would urge ICANN to maintain their current practice of registry/registrar separation in the interest of fair trading.
Removing the division could bring about capture by large registrars who have the financial capability to "roll up" registries.
I support this letter in its entirety.
I support this letter regarding Registry-Registrars separation .
