Well, while this wg is not fully participatory it appears to be quite open and transparent.
  I love to criticize probably more than the next guy, but Kudos are in order here for the leadership of this wg.
  I also note an increased interest from those involved with the wg on this list which is fully particpatory(as much as one wants). This is a further improvement over past wgs.
   
  I watch with interest if the outcome is more to the general populaces liking with these improvements through leadership. And if so we can reasonably deduce that it is more the human factor that makes regulation more palatable than it is the institutional factor.

  Chris, the archives of the list for the new gTLD committee is at:
  http://forum.icann.org/lists/gtld-council/
   
  I haven't seen any transcripts or recordings available of the LA meeting itself.

  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.

Dominik
