"Closed Domain" names shoudl NEVER happen

[Levis Veilleux <levis@xxxxxxxx>]

  *   We support an Internet that is open and focused and has room for the 
security and alarm industry.
  *   Generic words cannot and should not be owned for the exclusive use of one 
company.
  *   A closed generic domain is not in the public interest.
  *   If ICANN permits any company to possess a "closed domain" - including 
Symantec (a computer company) to use ".security" then the security and alarm 
industry could be lost.
  *   Closed use of ".security" is not similar to the way ".com," ".net" and 
".org" are used on the Internet daily.
  *   Therefore, we believe a closed generic application for ".security" is 
anticompetitive and we request that ICANN require applicants for closed generic 
TLDs to either open the TLD or withdraw for a full refund.
