OK, I acknowledge that thoughtfulness takes time and that it is unfortunate
that for a group of people to act thoughtfully, they must take on the guise
of a committee.

You used the passive voice in your response - do you support the addition
of .web, .zoo, .zone, .biz and .firm?

As for .web, .biz and .firm, I assume your version is similar to the CORE
versions.  Who would be prime customers for .zoo (zoos, poachers, pet
shops, naturalists, silver-backed male gorillas?) and .zone?
