Uniregistry Comment on Names Collision

[Bret Fausett <bret@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important issue. 

We strongly disagree with one aspect of the JAS report, which is that .HOME, 
.CORP and .MAIL should be permanently reserved. One of the primary purposes of 
the proposed mitigation plan is to educate users about the potential technical 
issues involved in private namespaces. Contrary to this purpose, permanent 
reservation of these three TLDs will perpetuate conduct that the rest of the 
mitigation plan is designed to cure. If these three TLDs present special cases, 
then ICANN should consider a mitigation period longer than 120 days solely for 
HOME, CORP and MAIL, but it should not permanently reserve them. 

Uniregistry applied for .HOME with the expectation that it was not a reserved 
top-level domain (like .LOCAL, for example), and it wishes to proceed with its 
application, after appropriate mitigation.
