Eastern Communication Company [China]: This applicant does have some excellent
suggestions for extensions, i.e., .firm, .info, .shop, and .tour. However, will ICANN’s
review process include in-depth analysis of language capabilities? Will technological/system
compatibility & differences between various countries be given weight in decisions?
Will governmental stability, telecommunications capability & other infrastructure
within the country of each applicant be part of the criteria for determining winning
proposals? If not, we're in for a bumpy ride…to the ultimate disservice of the name-seeking,
e-public that we serve. I do strongly support geographical expansion in selecting
new registries. Granted that China is becoming a powerhouse, however is there currently
enough stability and common ground with the NATO nations and other democracies so
as to prevent disruption of important functioning within the Internet? I have questions
that even a powerful company would have any real power in preventing disruption of
services if the Chinese government chose to implement and enforce a policy seen to
preserve its own best interest.
