Fahd, all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>as Roland says, this is well under way, and in a particularly ripe moment for interventions like yours: after the new-gTLD applications were all received and made public, an open-comment period for objections to TLDs proposed is open.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is about to close (it's been up for weeks and the objections are interesting!!)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is the time to act if you don't like any proposal.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yours,</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div dir="ltr">Parminder, looking at the New gTLDs that were introduced in the past two rounds, some were successful (such as .biz) while others were not (.museum is a big flop).<br>
<br>
While I am not a huge fan of introducing 1000s of New gTLDs at one shot, some of the private gTLDs will be deployed as means to create more brand trust. For example, Apple Inc. applied for .apple. From my understanding of this application, Apple Inc. will use
this TLD - partly - to introduce applications for their various products such as an iPhone application X will take the name x.iphone.apple. This increases brand perception and trust amongst users.<br>
<br>
However, I would say that some gTLDs applied for do not make any sense (I do not want to mention any here as means not to insult their respective applicants). While innovation and brand perception are the theme of many applications, there are many other ugly
faces for others.<br>

However, given the concepts raised regarding the availability of 2nd<br>

individual Internet end users, the gTLD RG recommends that the issues<br>

Within the At-Large New gTLD Working Group, Evan has already asked that generic word private TLDs be added as an issue the ANgWG discuss further. I am assuming this specific case can fall under that category. Is that ok?<br>

<br>
Yes, private tlds is by far the biggest issue/ problem with the new gtld process. Thanks to anyone who is raising this issue. I<br>
see no reason why private tlds should be allowed, and what public interest is served by allowing them.<br>
<br>
Some may make a case to allow private gltds for very well established and proven trade marks or registered names, when the name is very clearly exclusive, and unlikely to provide a new form of unfair monopoly (like, maybe IBM). However, I dont see why even
that may be so necessary! But that is a relatively lesser issue. Private gltds using generic names like .book must be an absolute NO...... I dont know how any such proposal survived so many committee, reviews etc that may have gone into the decision about
new gtlds...<br>
