It appears that Vittorio Bertola  <vittorio.bertola@open-xchange.com> said:
>1) Why should these people get for free something which everybody else is required to pay $200'000 for?

Remember that $200K is just the starting point. Google paid $25M for
.APP, GMO paid $41M for .SHOP and Verisign paid $135M for .WEB.

In my experience, the people doing namespace experiments don't just want a name to to use. They
want a "good" name like .PET.

If we came up with a process to reserve random top level names like .lxaokwzyhedw 
or .nifacsyzudxt, I doubt we'd get much pushback from the ICANN community, but I 
also don't think any of the experiments would use them.

It has become egregiously clear that memorable top level names are worth a lot of money and I
see no basis for the IETF to give them away to anyone.  While I don't think .ALT is valuable
(nobody bid for it in any of the rounds to date) I also don't think anyone will use it because
it is not "good" enough.

R's,
John
