Subject:	ICANN mismanagement
Message:
It is due to ICANN (and predecessor) mismanagement that .com has become synonymous with the Internet. Had they proper plan for early introduction of new TLD, the world would not have this fixation on .com. Mind you, big business and the trademark lobby are equally as guilty.
