Subject: SAY NO TO AFILIAS and YES TO IOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  IOD is the future of the internet!!!!!!!!

Their application makes no sense.  I too am horrified by a window period.  Let me give a hypothetical situation.  What if Palm wants to register palm.site or palm.info or palm.web?  They already have palm.com.  Let some palm reader get palm.info.  Also, who's to stop Palm from reaping all the other related domains like pda.site, pda.info, pda.web, handheld.site, handheld.info, handheld.web, wireless.site, wireless.info, wireless.web?  Where does it end? 

Choosing Afilias would be horrible for the future of the internet. 

We need to let smaller companies have a shot at it too.  I am sick and tired of the "consortium" of monopolists.  They already are monoliths in the internet.  Let someone else have a chance.  Someone like IOD who will do a superior job and has shown it in their track record.
