Hi Karl,
Option #1 is particularly bad, although Chuck Gomes is
probably salivating at the prospect of auctioning
single-letter .com and .net names via the new registry
services process that would necessarily put all auction
proceeds directly into VeriSign's pockets.
It's a bad choice because it creates the impression that such
an offering is in fact a new TLD registry service when in
reality making a domain such as o.com available for
registration is identical to the process of making
asdfgertchtybvertyfinhvd54hteiflhs.com
available -- there's nothing new about the nature of the
service being provided; all we're talking about is just
another string choice within the pool of available names.
Further, I remain concerned that John Klensin's concerns were
dismissed by this SubGroup -- see
http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/registrars/msg04473.html
Finally, I would ask if IDN registrations could be used to
readily spoof domains such as O.com.
