[At-Large] [lac-discuss-en] Vistaprint is abandoning .vista

[Carlos Raul Gutierrez]

To: Barry Shein 

I fully support the idea of differentiate pricing for .brands! 

I even support a separate window-process for applications, evaluations
and delegation of .brands, contracted out to WIPO to deal with!!!!!! And
ICANN should just get a cut of of that. It owuld allow us to focus on
the free open internet and the public interest.
