Dear Dotster customers,

Over the past few weeks we've been keeping you updated on the domain name
wait listing service (WLS) proposed by VeriSign and SnapNames. I wanted to
let you know that last Friday, ICANN voted yes on adoption of the proposal.
They voted yes, even though the ICANN WLS Task Force soundly rejected its
adoption. They voted yes, even though the outpouring of angry consumer
voices on the ICANN WLS forums and petitions clearly demonstrated that not
many were in favor of its adoption. Despite our best efforts to lead a
charge against this proposal, it has been accepted, and we must do our best
to move forward with it now.

Many of you have shown your support of open competition in the secondary
market by e-mailing me, signing the anti-WLS petition, and posting comments
on the forum. From all of us at Dotster, thank you so much for your
support. Dotster is currently going through the appeals process, so we
remain optimistic that things will work out in favor of consumers. Whatever
ends up happening in the end, I promise that Dotster will try to work
within the new system to bring the most benefit to you, our customer.

I have put together a comprehensive document outlining the history of the
WLS proposal, from its first introduction until last week's vote. The
document also includes information on which registrars voted for and
against the WLS -- the results may surprise you! I invite you to review
this document by visiting <a href='http://web.dotster.com/resources/wlsresponse.php' target='_blank'>http://web.dotster.com/resources/wlsresponse.php</a>.
Also, if you have any questions or comments about the decision, please feel
free to e-mail them to me at wls@dotster.com.

Again, thank you for your continued support.

Clint Page, President
Dotster Inc.
