Dear Sirs.

 

Our bookstore, Librería Cámara, (80 years in the book business) strongly 
opposes any applications for a "closed generic" gTLD, especially if submitted 
by commercial entities operating in a sector of activity related to the closed 
generic gTLD.

 

In the case of a closed generic gTLD .book, the exclusivity granted to the 
winning applicant would de facto strengthen the position of the biggest bidder 
to have sole use of the gTLD in the book industry and would therefore be 
anti-competitive, discourage innovation and new entrants and be detrimental to 
the industry as a whole.

 

We are therefore asking ICANN not to offer for sale a generic gTLD for .book 
and other similar words in general usage.

Yours faithfully
