 I Propose the creation of a free Top
 Level Domain Registry called FREENIC.
 It would be funded by all commercial
 NICs including Internic and Alternic.
 It would be mandatory for commercial
 TLD services to a percentage of their
 profits to the FREENIC. This would be
 the price of doing business.

 I will put my TLD .FCN (Free Community
 Network http://www.fcn.net) as one of
 the consortium of Free, non-profit TLD's
 that would form the core of FREENIC.
