adding more TLDs is a bad idea |
Message: |

It's confusing enough for internet users with there being
the multiple of TLDs we already have. That's why the internet community is standardizing
on .COM. It makes it simple, sensible. Each domain name is unique before the .COM.
Humans remember unique phrases, and a DOT in the middle is not natural. Eg. Airline.Travel
would often be confused with AirlineTravel.com. There are billions of unique names
in the .COM space still unused. All it takes is choosing three words, instead of
just one or two. Encouraging uniqueness will also prevent a deluge of trademark contention
and public confusion over having the same SLD registered with multiple TLDs pointing
to different sites.
