Pardon the typos in my posting of this morning. I am my own worst proof reader. Along with my grammar errors, I noticed that I typed ISOC instead of IOC. Must have been a Freudian slip. My long winded point is that we should at least consider that there may be some trademarks that have such a high degree of global recognition that it may be in the public's interest to ensure that any gTLD's that employ those marks are controlled by the rights holder. Otherwise, the public may be misled. Consumer protection is in the public interest. Lori Schulman
