Closed generic domains are wrong

["Carol Cairns" <carol@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Closed generic" domains should not be permitted." 

 

We support an Internet that is open and focused and has room for any
industry, including security, alarm, and automation.

*       Generic words cannot and should not be owned for the exclusive use
of one company.
*       A closed generic domain is not in the public interest.
*       If ICANN permits any company to possess a "closed domain" -
including Symantec (a computer company) to use ".security" then the security
and alarm industry could be lost.
*       Closed use of ".security" is not similar to the way ".com," ".net"
and ".org" are used on the Internet daily.
*       Therefore, we believe a closed generic application for ".security"
is anticompetitive and we request that ICANN require applicants for closed
generic TLDs to either open the TLD or withdraw for a full refund.

Thank you,
