By singling out those with opinions that run contrary to your own, you are no better
than the people you accuse of speculating and hoarding. I agree with your idea that
we should add hundreds of domains and I also and equally agree with those that say
we should only add a few. The point is you must pursue one tac or another and make
it clear that this is what you are going to do. Without a plan you have no structure
and without structure you have anarchy. New GTLDs should be added in the same fashion
as telephone numbers.. AS NEEDED. The fact of the matter is new GTLDs are simply
not needed. Will new GTLDs get added? Undoubtedly. It would be nearly impossible
for ICANN to do nothing on the issue at this juncture given the political pressure.
ICANN should cautiously add a few well thought out GTLDs. They should make certain
that all ICANN accredited registrars have the ability to sell those new GTLDs and
that all sales should begin at the same time with NO PRE-REGISTRATION. Most importantly,
when ICANN does release new GTLDs they should make a firm statement as to the direction
they are taking the naming system so as to instill confidence in the business community
and the investing public. Just as Alan Greenspan does when he changes interest rates,
it is important for those who invest in the Internet to have confidence in the naming
structure and it's governing body as we move forward.
