[Comment-Ip] Comment on intellectual property

[Dennis Simpson <dwsimpso@august.com>]

I don't know if this got sent.  My mailer crashed,
so I'm re-sending it.


Please do NOT allow any intellectual property rights
for domain names.  First come, first serve.  Otherwise,
the big companies will grab their product name, service
mark name, and grab them on every type of new top level
domain name too.  What good is a new top level domain
name if all the old domain name holders can just now
get the same ones on the new domains too?

Also, please do not allow the resale of domain names.
Some people hoard them up and for resale to the
highest bidder.  By not allowing the resale of domain
names, no one can profit, so the practice of
hoarding domain names will cease.

Regards,

Dennis Simpsn
