It's definitely a war. Nothing has changed with our landscape.

Our game (a more Democratic ICANN) is the same as it always was. Now we need to ensure we can go through with the reason that we are a group in the first place, and at this point that sounds like getting something in place so this does not happen again. 

To end with a Dutch saying, "ICANN sucks and Google is not much better. There own search engine usage could have told them that ing was/is on opennic."

Sorry about the short responses, I am camping in Queensland and swype hates me. 

Regards, 

Tim

Hi Tim, OpenNCI members,

I don’t think it’s a war. As I see it. We working towards a goal, running TLDs in a more open, democratic, way. When ICANN changed it’s policy some of the terms of the game for OpenNIC has changed. The landscape has changed (a bit).

We can be calm and let it be, and see what will come. If the result on the long term is to abandon OpenNIC because the landscape is changed? That’s fine with me. I think we are a group of smart people. (given by the fact that you consider yourself an OpenNIC member and know what ICANN is) Put yourself to do great work, if that is OpenNIC or something else.

To end with a Dutch saying “A cat in a corner makes strange jumps”. I don’t think OpenNIC is in a corner.

Kind regards,

Anner

I actually agree. Drop the domain. We have lost the war (this time) with ICANN. Instead of fighting for this TLD, let's ensure we are prepared for round two.

We should stick to opennic should be following the to the letter their

own policy that was establish a long time ago. I smell a big rotten

rotten fish in trying to derail the opennic project.     We should support

Our leaders and supporters of opennic. ICANN it is corporate piranha, in

other words Government greed in neutralizing the net..
