The fairest thing to happen is for ICANN to give the .web to IOD. When you say you
have tried searching for good names, and they're already taken, I know you haven't
looked very hard. There are thousands of great names left. The only ones that are
gone are the real excellent names like sex.web, business.web, shop.web, etc... Let
me explain something to you. If IOD gets the .web, you will have the ability to register
real good names. If the other companies applying for .web get it, they will have
a period of time called the sunrise period, which will allow tons of large companies
to register whatever names they want, before the public has a chance. Therefor you
will not be able to register anything good. Giving the .web to one of those companies(not
including IOD), will not help the problem we face today. All it will do is allow
large companies to gobble up all the good names. I was hoping to start a business
on with a couple .web's I pre-registered at IOD, but the way things are going it
looks like ICANN will give .web to Afilias, and I will lose my opportunity to start
this business. For those who supported IOD earlier then me, managed to register excellent
names, and I don't think they should lose them simply because I didn't support IOD
before them. Ryan
