Only correct reason for new TLD's is ... |

To allow trademark holders for specific industries to
move to the web.. in other words Macdonalds (Restaurants) and Macdonalds (Clothing
Store). It's not right that Macdonalds the restaurant get's the right to Macdonalds.com
just because they are a bigger company. There should be a Macdonalds.food (for
example) and a Macdonalds.clothes. Both companies will be allowed to exist
online and there will be NO consumer confusion. Adding generic words like .shop
or .web doesn't alleviate the problem at all, only exacerbates it and forces companies
with domains already registered to refister the new .web and .stores (etc.) just
to protect their trademark. Only people benifitting from this are the domain
name registrars! (who seem to be the only ones voting on this issue?)
