Message:
I think this proposal is a bad idea. Why would individuals want ten digit numbers as their domain names? Secondly, the proposal for having subdomains with names like doctors.i seems to run the risk of replicating what might be industry specific gTLDs that might be created. Hearing thinks like doctors.i makes it sound like they are going to create a replication under .i of what may exist under . as well. And single-letter top level domains are a bad idea I think. Keep them reserved for unspecified future uses.
