Subject:	Agreed - these new TLD launches have to be run by one central body...
Message:
I'd suggest take the power of abuse out of the hands of the 'registrars' and let the 'registry' handle the mess.  We've seen what 60+ rogue registrars will do during the launch of a new TLD - total havoc.      At least with one central body running the TLD launch (registry or ICANN) it is easier to make them accountable (via court action/etc.) than with 60+ registrars running amuck.  Let the registry handle all the pre-registrations... they can even offer a 'randomized list' of registrars that the pre-registrant can choose from.      As for the details of how to implement a fair distribution of domains during a pre-registration handled by the registry... well that's another LONG story. This is total chaos. -eBiz
