"The time for action has just started..."

[Bob Allisat]

Dear Internet Citizens -

The IAHC have set up their own IAHCnic with some really laughable
domains (.FIRM .STORE .NOM etc) and attempted to steal two excellent
domains (.ARTS and .WEB) from their rightful stewards. Pretty sad
behaviour the Internet community will quickly see through resulting
in the imanent PR demise of this bogoid Internet Ad Hoq Advisory
Committee.

Alas, while some imagine it to be all over "the time for action
has just started". We who have been struggling to represent the
interests of the International communities, of non-profit groups
and democratic principles have been entirely betrayed. And are
left no alternative but to resist what is an unprecedented and
shameless power grab in whatever manner we can.

We will fight this on mailing lists, in the newsgroups, on the
Web, in the conventional media, at every meeting of these illicit
organizations... at stake is the very future of the Internet
media. Either it is to be controlled by a small clique of Americans
or it will be controlled by the world community in all it's
diversity. We have a choice. Let us choose wisely.
