Is ibm.nyse.com, dec.nyse, mci.nasdaq.com a problem? This takes the arbitrary decision out of accepting or denying someone access to the .com hierarchy and enforces and already strict naming.
There are two problems I see with this. There are many companies who are privately held, including billion dollar ones. Also, there are companies who have certificates traded on more than one trading place (I know of Japan/US situations.) The more fundamental question is where do you put all the companies that you are now forcing out of .com? Jerry

Privately held companies will have to go in the geographic heirarchy. I don't think this is a major hardship. It's OK to have two domain names if trading on more than one exchange.

Put them in the geographic heirarchy.

Of course the $25k a year to stay in .com might also be an option for the truly huge and certainly fund some hefty root name servers. Curtis

If there is anyone here who is not on com-priv, there is a discussion right now about the Internic's new policies on domain naming that touches on some of the same issues.

it's probably going to come to that sooner or later. i feel sure that the companies who believe that their domain name is some kind of service or trade mark are going to pay whatever it takes to keep it from changing. on the other hand we had a comment from the press in here recently, to the effect that some kind of change is coming before the end of the year. who knows, perhaps brighter minds than ours have already got everything fixed.
