Re: unqualified domains, was ICANN to allow commercial gTLDs

Adding gtlds and opening up the root to brands effectively requires TM holders to register/bid to protect their TM rights.

If you had read the applicant handbook, you would know that's not true. But I'm glad to see that people are taking my advice and continuing the traditional uninformed nanog wankage rather than reading the documentation and polluting the discussion with boring facts. R's, John
