ICANN Should Not Proceed with Pre-Registrations for New gTLDs

["Ahearn, Dennis" <dennis.ahearn@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear ICANN -

                Lockheed Martin Corporation strongly opposes any proposed 
pre-registration of new gTLDs.  The entire system that is currently proposed 
will cause us a good deal of grief and expense and is unnecessary, unwarranted 
and lacking in any sound reason for existence.  We strongly urge you to abandon 
this whole unnecessary attempt to expand gTLD's without any realistic limits 
and we categorically oppose your proposed pre-registration of new gTLDs.

                Very truly yours,
              Dennis
