Masanobu Katoh - posted on 2000-09-26 14:20:51 One recent ICANN action will be the planned addition of new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) to the name space. ICANN is expected to select a small number of new gTLDs soon. I am aware of the debate surrounding this issue, particularly regarding the number and character of the gTLDs that ICANN should introduce. I support the ICANN Board of Directors’ recent decision in Yokahama for the introduction of new top-level domains (TLDs) in a measured and responsible manner. This process should be simple, easy-to-use, open and understandable to all, and quick. Issuing a new TLD should be based on a careful balance between the need for such a TLD and the potential abuse (i.e. cybersquatting) and confusion by the public. In addition, we need to study more about the relationship between ccTLDs and gTLDs.
