[ga] lifetime rights
Dear Ga-ers, As part of the feedback that ICANN is asking on new RAA agreements, I would ask for a new service that truly adds value to registration rights: lifetime registration. Just as a person has the right to name his children for life, so should individual registrants have the right to lifetime registration of their chosen domain name. No more domain theft during shortened or non-existent grace periods. No more registrar swindles. There is no inherent need for a 10 year limit on "domain licences" and the implied possibility of future extortion on valuable names. Direct lifetime registrations, securely escrowed with ICANN, is a much more valuable service. A simpler operation as well. Such rights should be given to identifiable individuals and could perhaps be restricted to one name per individual. As long as the principle is expressed that an individual registrant should have such rights and at what price. This database would also make a very good electorate for Individual Domain Name Owners. -joop-
