[governance] ICANN stumbling on a hornet nest

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

*Juliet:*
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii,
1-2)<http://www.enotes.com/romeo-text/act-ii-scene-ii#rom-2-2-45>

*Summary of Relevance<http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/what-s-name-that-which-we-call-rose>
*

"Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet meet and fall in love in Shakespeare's
lyrical tale of "star-cross'd" lovers. They are doomed from the start as
members of two warring families. Here Juliet tells Romeo that a name
is an *artificial
and meaningless convention*, and that she loves the person who is called
"Montague", not the Montague name and not the Montague family. Romeo, out
of his passion for Juliet, rejects his family name and vows, as Juliet
asks, to "deny (his) father" and instead be "new baptized" as Juliet's
lover. This one short line encapsulates the central struggle and tragedy of
the play."


Clearly there are people squabbling over generic names, yes the "g" in gTLD
is "generic" which means "Characteristic of or relating to a class or
group". It would be great for those who have issues or comments to make
them where they matter in terms of impact which is

The new Application Comment Window has been extended to an additional 45
days which means it's open for comments till the 26th September, 2012.
