[governance] It's Time to Stop ICANN's Top-Level Domain (TLD)

[David Goldstein]

And neither have you given a reason why they shouldn't exist Ian.

There could be many reasons why it will help with resource discovery. If I'm 
looking for hotels in Berlin, I would assume those with a .BERLIN TLD would rank 
higher.

And I'm not sure what your issue is about internet governance. As Milton pointed 
out, the process for new gTLDs has been going on for some time with input from 
many people to develop the likely framework.

Not at all, and IDNs are a case in point where expansion makes sense for as
long as domain names maintain usefulness - but any attachment of exorbitant
fees to IDNs to allow them to be established would be ridiculous.

I'm simply pointing out, as others are, that endless expansion of domain
name suffixes does nothing to aid resource discovery or improve internet
governance.
