Check http://www.house.gov/writerep/ (I think I got that correct)

Enter your zip, and find the name of your local congress-critter. If
you have not written, then call the _local_ office today or tomorrow.
They go back to DC on Tuesday.

According to Zoe Lofgren's office in DC, they have not heard any
opposition to the proposed rule from any credible companies or
constituents. Either nobody is credible, or you folks living in her
district did not write!

Are you happy that the rule obsoletes the gTLD-MoU as a matter of law?

If not, then complain that the 3 and 1/2 year international Internet
process was ignored!

Are you happy with a "two year" (extensible in 2 year increments),
arbitrary, undefined role for US government?

If not, ask for a limited, well-defined government role lasting no more
than 6 months.

Are you happy with a for-profit, non-shared registry? That "chooses"
the registrars?

If not, ask for nonprofit operation of back-end registries.
