[registrars] Single letter domain names

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

A member of the GNSO Council, Marilyn Cade, has placed the topic of
single letter domain names on the agenda for the GNSO Council call this
week.

I would like to hear the views of the registrars constituency on this.

Presently it is not possible to register names like:
A.com. O.com. Y.com. M.com etc

I assume that there would be businesses interested in such names.  It
would appear to require a change in IETF standards/ICANN policy to allow
this.

If it was allowed, there would need to be a suitable method of
allocating the names.  I don't think first-come, first-served will
really work.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
