How to get involved in ICANN?

It seems to me that we need more webmaster involvement in ICANN to prevent stuff like the .BIZ, .INFO and .ORG fiasco from happening again in the future.

I thought it was mentioned somewhere on WebmasterWorld on how to get involved, but I have not been able to find it again.

I've looked on ICANN's web site, but I followed the "how to get involved" links and end up at dead ends. I wonder if that's by design or poor design? ;-)

We send emails to ICANN on a regular basis, usually to file complaints against <snip> registrars.

The turn around time is usually pretty good - at least you get an answer. I am not quite sure if they actually do something against the policies of these companies.

Here's a contact:

Thank you for giving us that information Christine8 and welcome to Webmaster World!

I think we all need to flood this guys inbox and voicemail. Hopefully he will join WW and make a post of their official position and give any insightful information? We can hope!

Ok, I've just emailed Mike Zupke and also invited him to join WW and post here and let us know what is going on and how ICANN feels about the many posts OPPOSED to the latest proposed changes to the agreement.

I'll let you know if I receive a reply.

Please, everyone, lets all email him and as ccDan says, make sure you word it that "due to the clause that allows registries to determine their own pricing without limitation that would allow registries to implement variable pricing" or something to that effect, so there are no misunderstandings as ccDan was concerned about.

Let's list here what you've done so far and if it's ok, who you have contacted and what they've said.

Remember one man/woman CAN make a difference, however the voice of MANY will make even more of a difference and can be heard with a LOUDER voice.

Another one: the SQUEAKY wheel gets the grease! :-)
