angry tapir writes "ICANN has delayed its plans to sell new generic top-level domains while responding to public comments about the controversial proposal. 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."

This "plan" only benefits registrars by winkydink · 2009-02-20 06:23 · Score: 4, Insightful

Further balkanization of gTLD's does nothing for the end user. It will be a great stream of new revenue for registrars though.
ICANN has become nothing more than a pawn of domain registrars. Read the meeting minutes and see for yourself.
