Subject:	.i TLD and Single Letters
Message:
I think that the concept behind domain names for individuals is a great idea. The free addresses is a good way to facilitate more people's movement to the web. Still, I would like to see some assurances that only people with a legal name could sign up for it. For example, I should not be allowed to sign up for 'Bruce Springsteen', nor should he be allowed to sign up for mine (well, they are both relative uncommon!).  Maybe this measure was in the proposal, and I missed it? Second, regarding the concerns over the one-letter .i TLD; well, I guess we could just as easily have it be .ego!
