Domain names

[Drew McNeill <andrewpjmcneill@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN,

I write you to express my support for the introduction of new top-level
domain names. I believe that Internet users around the globe will benefit
from the ability of organizations and communities to develop TLDs that will
provide a controlled and verified source for information, goods, and
services.  No longer will we have to defensively purchase domain
far-reaching, misspelled, and correlative domains to prevent scammers from
profiting illicitly off of our good name.  In an industry like ours, we need
to provide our customers the feelings of safety and trust in our brand. If
opening new TLDs would deter cyber-squatting and make phishing and other
scams less effective than our business supports it wholeheartedly. I hope
that you find this version of the DAG near final, so that we can stop
waiting on the opening of the Internet.
