Assoc. of National Advertisers Blasts ICANN gTLD Plan,
Threatens Action to Stop It

http://j.mp/p9fXyH  (ANA)

   "ICANN must not ignore the legitimate concerns of brand owners and the
    debilitating effect on consumer protection and healthy markets its
    unsupervised actions will cause. Should ICANN refuse to reconsider and
    adopt a program that takes into account the ANA's concerns expressed
    in this letter, ICANN and the Program present the ANA and its members
    no choice but to do whatever is necessary to prevent implementation of
    the Program and raise the issues in appropriate forums that can
    consider the wisdom, propriety and legality of the program."

The ANA letter is quite comprehensive and very much worth
reading in its entirety.
