Subject: To protect your domain name

Message:

>As A small company who have wasted an inordinate amount of Time, resources and money going up to $30,000 to defend their domain name which was being hijacked by a larger company, I would not like to have to do the same for other TLDs.
You can keep your domain name - by giving all trademark holders dot REG as well. The dot COM you have can still be used for advertising, promotion and marketing.
The dot REG is the tag so customers know you are that SPECIFIC company - the same as having (tm) after your name. In the format name.class.country.reg - for example pizza.food.us.reg
NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR DOMAINS OFF YOU - because you are not passing yourself off as that SPECIFIC company taking action.
