Simply unworkable |

Aside from the fact that .BIZ
already exists and is resolving to the ORSC rootzone, there are some really serious
problems with this application.After months of debate in WG-B and WG-C, it was
decided that "famous marks" could not and should not be established, yet Abacus seems
to think it can do just that. There were some very good reasons for not establishing
such a list, one of which is the decision of what is a "famous mark." If left
open for registration as you propose, anyone with a mark can register. That
means that Ford can register as a famous mark, when there are thousands of Ford names
entitled to use it. It's not workable. It was also decided that a sunrise
provision would not fly either. It simply gives the TM Lobby the jump on all
others to register names, leaving the dregs for the rest of the world. The
whole idea of having new TLDs is to open the name space, not close it. Millions
of names will disappear before the average small business has a chance. What
was the point of having working groups if they are to be totally ignored? There
are several areas of this application which fly in the face of individual freedoms. In
addition, it is not right for the owner of an existing registrar to own a TLD, IMO.
