>> Companies should NOT be able to pre-register generic non-trademarkable domains. Why should a different rule apply to .web than applies to other gTLDs? Surely nobody is suggesting that Barnes & Noble's use of book.com is illegitimate! Whether the legal registrant of a domain name is a company or an individual should not be relevant. If there are no *valid* trademark issues then first-come-first-served should be the sole decider.
