This makes sense since they are leasing domain names to you and not selling them to you.

You don’t own your Domain on the ICANN internet - and yes, that sucks.

True, but how should disputes be resolved?

Under this proposed change, if Verisign decides to cancel the lease for your .net domain, what can you do about it?


I don't think this change allows them to cancel your domain except for the purposes listed in sec. 2.7(b)(ii).


Is there an alternative? Just because you "bought" a domain gives you the right to use it to, say, co-ordinate a botnet that attacks other Internet systems?
