I don't think the creation of the new gTLD's is the problem - I like the idea of
new, more appropriate gTLD's. But the implementation will be a nightmare. The
proposed amnesty period for owners of well-known trademarks is the first issue
that's gonna brew up a storm. I'll be watching that with great interest.
I also think the .eu domain is a great idea. I can't wait to get one.
