Subject: TLD issues that should have been considered

Despite supposed recent congressional efforts to revitalize rural America using the Internet as a tool the government and everyone else has missed the boat. Small communities can't even get consideration for a top level domain if they a) do not have US postal mail delivery (section 6. does not allow PO boxes on the form) and b) if it does not come from a town official.

Anyone who has ever lived in a truly rural community knows there are no public officials and there might be no mail delivery. That doesn't mean the community does not exist on maps or there is no Post Office.

Those are incredibly short-sighted RFC requirements.

Another point to consider. If the newly formed DOC has nothing to to with the TLD structure what are they planning to accomplish? In my opinion thats a serious waste of time and tax payers money.
