A question of principles : short and generic domains registered years ago by some pioneers do not belong to late-coming blue chips and their posse of lawyers.

Well, thank you for at least letting the little guy the chance to comment
on this important - and scaring - issue.



To me, it is hard to believe noticing that this workgroup tries to “rape”
the rights of existing registrants of short and/ or generic (at the very
end) in existing gTlds like dotcoms. It has been in existence for thirty
years now !!! I really feel entitled to add a few neutral comments about
this *report* as I never had myself the chance to register short domain
names like LL.com or LLL.com as I came too late to do so. But this is a
question of principles. I am not sure that you realize that uncertainty is
bad, especially for small businesses ??? The UDRP process came into
existence in 1999 I think. Why, if there had been any substantial abuse of
those domains, no IGOs tried to assert their rights via existing processes
and laws ? C’mon folks !



Please, do not play the apprentice sorcerer by threatening with such a
legal and unjustified uncertainty the legitimate rights established by
rightful owners, decades ago. Those people do not deserve to be punished
for their vision. Do not play with the American dream, do not play with the
spirit of the founding fathers of the USA. They do not deserve it either.



Thank you in advance,
