PETITION: "Proposal to Nullify and Replace the CORE-MoU"

We, the undersigned, do declare that the current proposals for reform of the domain name system being put forward by the organization known as CORE do not represent the best interests of the Internet community in general, and domain name owners, brokers, registrars and other entities connected with domain names in particular.

Furthermore, we charge that none of the processes currently being followed to change the domain name system adequately represent the views held by a significant proportion of the Internet community. Instead, each represents an imposition of the views of a restricted group of entities on the entire Internet. This is in spite of the large number of objections raised to the current processes.

We demand the following:-

That the process of domain name reform be an open, representative one.
That a broad concensus be reached with all relevant parties before any changes are made to the existing system.
That no action should be taken without such a concensus being reached.
That a genuine attempt be made to examine the need for domain name reforms, as well as the reforms themselves.
That no one entity should be arbitrarily excluded from the process of domain name reform.

The undersigned,

Daniel Cohn (Director, DocuSearch)
Johnny Pulliam (WebMeister, DTE Computer Systems)
Patrick Tomasch

APPENDIX
We further agree that the proposals set out in the following document, "Saving the Domain Name System : A Real Alternative", represent a valid proposal for reforming the domain name system, and should be made available for public scrutiny with a view to implementation after any necessary changes have been made.

The undersigned,

Edwin Hayward (WebMaster, Internet Gold-Rush)
