</div>I happen to use GODADDY, though I'm not a defender. In fact, I don't like a<br>
lot of their policies nor am I sanguine about reports of how they have been<br>
enforced. But they did support DNSSEC when my previous registrar did not<br>
(and still does not).<br>
<br>
I don't follow the logic of moving your business at this point. They took<br>
an unacceptable position on SOPA; many customers punished them by taking<br>
their business elsewhere. GD responded by dropping their advocacy for the<br>
unacceptable position.<br>
<br>
So now you (and according to web postings, others) still want to move more<br>
business elsewhere? Others report receiving "please come back" calls, and<br>
responding "no". Shouldn't you be finding a way to reward their change?<br>
<br>
Even if you want a stronger anti-SOPA position from them, it seems illogical<br>
to send the message that changing their position doesn't change their<br>
customers' behavior.<br>
<br>
If I were on the receiving end, I might decide that since changing my<br>
position didn't placate my customers, there's no point in listening to them.<br>
<br>
I think that if we want to be effective advocates, we need to be careful<br>
about how and when we protest. Sometimes it can be hard to take "yes" for<br>
an answer...<br>
<br>
I'd encourage you to be clear about what more you want from GD if you pursue<br>
moving your business. I'm not sure that reflexively going with the<br>
(protest) crowd is the right move.<br>
<br>
Of course, it's your call. But that's my 3 cents.<br>
