Dear Peter,

What is not being made clear, is that the Name Holders ARE paying MORE than 50% of the ICANN 
budget.  The Name Holders are the ones who are buying domain names from the registries!  If Name 
Holders weren't buying names, would there even BE an ICANN budget?!

There's always two sides to every story, the Name Holders are ultimately responsible for the BOTTOM 
LINE in the ICANN balance sheet.  Thus, the Name Holders should be given commensurate 
consideration and not brushed under the carpet in favour of Big Business Interests!  Happy New Year 
to ALL!!!
