One can argue that these exceptional protections are justified because of the special nature of some TLDs. So the logical thing to do, if you don't like the exceptional protections, is to change the nature of the TLDs. That is why suggestions to change the meaning of .com or add new trademark-oriented TLDs _are_ on target.
Hence forth, the meaning of the tld '.com' has been changed. It now stands for "communist". Run! Hide your yourselves from this tld or your customers will comment on you behind your back, your children will turn you in, the government will launch DoS attacks on your network, no one will trust your SSL certs, and no one but Castro will do business with you! Wow, look at all those .com domains available. :-) </no opinion expressed or implied> -jr ---- Josh Richards [JTR38/JR539-ARIN] <jrichard@geekresearch.com/cubicle.net/fix.net/freedom.gen.ca.us> Geek Research LLC - <URL:http://www.geekresearch.com/> IP Network Engineering and Consulting
