[process2-comments] RFC-1

 Name: Dennis L. Conley Organization: Dennis L. Conley, CPA,CFP Position: Owner Thank you for this opportunity to comment. I am writing now as I just recently became aware of these proposals. I believe the reason that there is not more comment is that most of the hundreds of thousands of people who would be effected are not aware of these proposals. While the intent may be honorable, I firmly believe the scales are being tilted much too far in favor of big business and organizations. I am in total disagreement with restrictions being put on geographical locations. Using the example given of "FloridaOranges.com", the "dot com" makes it obvious that the site is commercial, and not government sponsored or approved.It would be much more logical for a person interested in noncommercial information to expect to find it under the appropriate country code, or "dot gov" or "dot org". If rights to use a domain name were to be determined by best use, could a person who is awarded a domain name today risk losing it five years from now, if someone comes along with an argument for a better use? This could eventually lead to censorship, as unpopular ideas may not be considered the best use for a domain. Businesses have long used the names of states and cities in their names to identify themselves for legitimate business purposes. "Dot com" has been designated for commercial endeavors, and it should remain this way. I believe that instead of further restricting domain holders, a list of "domain holders rights" should be established. An appeals process should also be established to help ensure that the rights of domain holders are preserved. Thank you for your consideration. Dennis L. Conley, CPA,CFP Daytona Beach, Fl. USA
