I'd also like to get the PR team within OpenNIC to write me a press
release for our website publicly critising ICANNs gTLD practice. Alex,
can you please gather your team and write me something? :)

I'd like to also take this oppurtunity to say I am very disappointed
in ICANNs action in regards to thier approach for new gTLDs. Once they
are active, the internet is not going to be the same as before. It's a
sad day for all. ICANN should be ashamed for turning DNS into a money
making machine. The application process alone have netted ICANN 348
million USD, thats alot! SHAME ICANN

It shall be done. 

I too am disappointed about the ICANN nonsense. To be honest, I am fairly surprised that over 1900 TLDs are on that list! There are a few dupes of course... but REALLY?! 1900?!  A few of them I can understand but some are ridiculous.  For instance "AFAMILYCOMPANY" (S. C. Johnson for the record) or "TRAVELERSINSURANCE"... It is just a disgrace :(
