Message:

No .biz please!!!!
*sigh*
If a .biz domain is approved it will quickly get filled up by all the companies that already own .com/.net/.org variants of the same name.
Licencing a blatently generic name like .biz .firm etc is giving the company running these domains a license to print money.
Generic TLD's will not help the nets current problems
Specific TLDS (.music .television .movie .art .museum etc) will!
(i'm starting to sound like a stuck record!)
