63 character with one letter parameter

To Whom It May Concern,
I wish to call to your attention a potential problem with the issue of
generic Top Level Domains under the 63 character with only one letter
parameter. I have written a report about the impact of the installation of the
GPS application into hand held computing devices on the search engine marketing
and optimization industries. One section of The Report is K Time. The
fundamental conclusion of K Time is that efficient use of the keypad, screen
and keyboard is physiological in nature; people will use what is fastest and
easiest, and that institutions must prepare for future demographic patterns of
K Time efficient device usage.
The potential problem is that under proposed guidelines any entity seeking a
new gTLD at or near the top of any alphabetically organized list of gTLDs will
be forced to acquire a gTLD with extreme K Time inefficiency. For instance,
under proposed guidelines the first gTLD on the list would be;
.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000A ( 62 zeros A )
followed by 62 zeros B, 62 zeros c, etc........
In terms of K Time efficiency, this would be an absolute disaster with a
colossal amount of opportunity for error and waste.
It is therefore my recommendation that ICANN stipulate that the required
letter character be placed in early position in the gTLD string. First position
would be the most K Time efficient. If ICANN required the first character of
the gTLD to be a letter, the list would start with;
.A0 ( dot a zero ) then .A00 ( dot a zero zero ) then
.A000 ( dot a zero zero zero ) etc.....
if the letter could be placed in first or second position, the list would start
with;
.0A .0A0 .0A00 .0A000 etc........
Allowing the letter in ensuing positions invites rapidly degrading levels of
K Time inefficiency;
.00A .00A0 .00A00 .00A000 etc.... .000A
.000A0 .000A00 .000A000.
The reason I consider this matter so important is my belief that businesses
will seek the top of the gTLD list in much the same way they have sought the
top of the list of business headings in the phone book; using numbers and As. I
myself have notified Afilias LLC of my intention to make application for the
top gTLD on the list. I am waiting for the final ICANN guidelines to determine
what that top gTLD will be.
It is my hope that ICANN will stipulate that the first character in the gTLD
string must be a letter. Sould this prove to be the case, I will file a formal
expression of interest and proper application for the .A0 ( dot a zero ) gTLD.
I intend to use the .A0 gTLD as a worldwide geographically organized internet
domain directory composed of single page basic contact information websites
separated into personal, government and business sections in the same format
used by the now obsolete printed phone book. I think it would be appropriate
for the gTLD at the top of any alphabetically organized lists of gTLDs to be an
index of domain names. I would allow any individual, organization, government,
agency, institution or business to link to their proprietary .A0 directory
index listing and redirect traffic to their main website or whatever
destination url they wish.
Ladies and gentlemen, the internet needs a simple, static, coherently
organized table of contents that does not depend on the best optimization
program or the highest cost per click or the number of links to the most
currently popular social site. The first or top gTLD should be the directory of
domain names. This is not rocket science. It is common sense.
When the rules are complete and the time comes to award the gTLD that will be
first alphabetically, I hope you will remember who it was that called the
problem of 62 zeros and an A to your attention. I am the author of The Report.
I am the author of K Time. At the present time, I am the only person capable of
foreseeing trouble of this nature.
Please confirm receipt of this correspondence.
Please keep me abreast of any developments on this subject.
Thank you for your attention.
Thank you in advance for your efforts in my behalf. Sincerely, Mitchell
Moore
