Subject: ICANN decides not a competitor

Message:

We do not feel that the naming convention makes such big of a difference. The application guidelines requested general similarity and we believe we have it. This is the only difference and we may adjust it if requested by ICANN.
In all cases ICANN will decide not a competitor.
