Re: [ga] 7. The EDDP & RGP

[Joe Baptista <baptista@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Karl:

I really do think you should focus your efforts on the TLDA. Because that is
exactly what has happened to that HEX ridden organization. You have lost all
your members the communities confidence. So your essentially proposing below
that people do the same to GoDaddy as they did at the TLDA.

Won't work - does not scale. GoDaddy has good rates. And it does not matter
where they go they all pay the ICANN tax. As an executive director of the
TLDA you should know that. Should you not.

Cheers
Joe Baptista
