We attract all members of the registrar community who believe that the new ICANN Budget 2004 - 2005 is unreasonable and will NOT encourage competition.

If you believe, the new ICANN Budget

- Will Affect the business of small and medium sized registrars
- Will Act as an entry barrier for aspiring registrars
- Is not uniform throughout small and large registrars
- Requires amendments!


Join the alliance, appeal to ICANN to modify its new budget.
