| 39 | Tim Woodcock | Victoria, BC, Canada | BareMetal.com, inc. | |
| 40 | Andy Gardner | This is the result of ICANN letting Verisign give it a shafting over the net/org redelgation. Do something ICANN - JUST THIS ONCE!!! | ||

| 51 | Joe Alagna | Management of the Domain Name System is too important to be left to one company to do what it wants for profit. It should be in the hands of a neutral service provider with no unfair advantage. This reminds me of a type of insider trading. It shouldn't be allowed. | California, US | |
