RE: [gnso-rn-wg] gTLD Reserved Names Chart

<div>
If this is going to be the recommendation, then I would like to add to
that the business names of then existing Accredited Registrars. And I am sure 
that the IP community would then like to add the well known names of other 
Internet services providers (search engines, ISPs, etc., etc.).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
I cannot imagine a registry giving a competitor permission to register
the equivalent of its gTLD string at the second level. In fact, I think 
investigation of antitrust and other anti-competitive laws and regulations 
should be done before we consdier making such a recommendation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
What is&nbsp;the is actual evidence&nbsp;of potential harm to justify
this recommendation, or the existing policy regarding these reservations? What 
is the justification to continue to expand the existing imbalance regarding the 
registrations of such names? All this does is&nbsp;make an ever growing number 
of valuable and useful generic strings unavailable to the general public, and 
assumes bad intentions on the part of those who may like to use them.</div>
