The organization has released a 154-page document detailing and analyzing the hundreds of comments (PDF) it has received about its gTLD plan. In response to several concerns brought up by the public and companies in the Internet industry, ICANN has moved out the projected timeline for taking applications for new gTLDs from September to December."

      Looks like someone already beat you to it. I went to http://127.0.0.1/ . I have to say I like that site a lot. But then again it looks very similar to mine, so I am biased.

    Don't worry sir, I'm sure that your company will be willing to pay our very reasonable fees for all possible variations of its name, and any distinctive trademarks. It would be such a pity for them to fall into the hands of spammers, link farmers, or others who would reflect poorly on them...
