agreement allow approved checks consequences cost ensure final goal increase internet prices

approved bad board choice community deal domain ensure entire expediency forever hearing interests internet known left lost operation prevail proposal reject
We are disappointed that after hearing from so many Internet stakeholders about why this proposal is anti-competitive, the ICANN Board still approved a known bad deal. The Board has left NTIA with no choice but to reject this deal to ensure that competitive and accountable operation of the .com domain registry is not lost forever to consumers. The long-term interests of the entire Internet community must prevail over short-term expediency for a few.
