			Dominik,
			 
			The first priority of the Reserved Names WG is
to provide background and recommendations to the new gTLDs regarding the
introduction of new gTLDs, specifically reserved strings at the top
level. The terms of work for the WG also includs reviewing reserved
names at the second level since such reservation requirements will
affect any new gTLD operators that are selected. 
			 
			So it is not that ICANN has prioritized the
release of single character names at the second level above everything
else, it is included in the work as applicable to the introduction of
new gTLDs. But of course, there's no doubt that various parties within
the WG are primarily involved for that reason. And there's no doubt that
the lobbying done by some of those parties is partly why that category
of reserved names is included in the WG's terms of work.

				There is perhaps no reasons to reserve
one-letter names in general but
				it's surprising that ICANN, instead of
dealing with much more important
				and urgent agenda, is putting its effort
into something that again
				smacks of sort of bargaining. We are
talking about exactly 26 domain
				names gaining extreme value during the
long time they are being
				reserved, worthy of millions bucks each
when auctioned. You can be damn
				sure most of the names once released
will soon appear at auctions and
				all the profit will come to the pockets
of those demanding their release
				at ICANN today.
				
				So, not the names themselves but the
order of importance is what makes
				me sick.
