Yes, private tlds is by far the biggest issue/ problem with the new gtld 
process. Thanks to anyone who is raising this issue. I
see no reason why private tlds should be allowed, and what public 
interest is served by allowing them.

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...
