Subject: trademark conflicts

   You are perfectly right.

Trademark conflicts are the major issue.
They can only be solved, if trademark holders (and I am holding trademarks myself) have to register their trademarked domain names in clearly identifiable gtlds as .tm, .reg or .1 (one - worldwide known trademarks like CocaCola). No one else is admitted there.

But no trademark protection regarding all other gtlds (.com, ...)should be kept. They were not created for that purpose!

A certain protection for cctlds should be established (same rights for individuals names, clubs, businesses, trademarkowners, who live / registered their name in that country + the well-known first-come-first-serve method).

After solving this problem, new gtlds, as .web, ... can be introduced without the fear of endless disputes, which makes a big differnece to the situation we have now.

I am sure ICANN is responsible enough to consider this.
