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