<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000;
font-size:10pt;"><div>ICANN,</div><div><br></div><div>As an independent
professional who follows the DNS/domain name industry I think ICANN should not
consider changing anything with "closed generic new gtlds". ICANN put
forth a applicant guidebook which had been revised numerous times for years,
and the last guidebook says nothing about registries that want to run closed
TLDs. Changing this now is unfair to all gTLD applicants, and more than
anything will open huge legal issues for ICANN. Should ICANN change their
stance on this issue now, companies like Amazon will be handed a golden
opportunity to sue ICANN for very large amounts of future lost profit.
ICANN should have dealt with this before raising some $350 million in
gTLD application fees. Because ICANN failed to do so, nothing should be
changed on this issue!</div><div><br></div><div>No, I am not an applicant for a
new gTLD or associated with one. It just seems wrong for ICANN to be
changing the rules of the gTLD launch this late in the game! And
indirectly causing monetary harm to many gTLD applicants that created business
plans based on the rules ICANN set in place!</div><div><br></div><div>Keven
