 Name: Robert Vincent Organization: Pillars.NET Position: Network Administrator These new proposed rules tilt the scales in favor of big companies with well-funded legal departments WAY TOO MUCH. No matter what name I pick for my domain, if it is composed of prounounceable syllables, there is probably SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE, whose business or personal name contains the same string of syllables. And even if there isn't, somebody could form a business tomorrow, trademark the name, and then steal my domain from me. In any case where there is a limited supply of resources and no clear, universally agreed-upon way to distribute them, the only rule that makes sense is "First come, first served."
