I'm not a special interest group, but instead a concerned member of the Internet community. I have seen, first-hand, harm to and destruction of dozens of businesses due to NSI's extremely flawed trademark domain name policy. I have published papers and given lectures in an effort to influence the situation, at first with an (evid- ently futile) desire to assist NSI in correcting the flaws, and now with the aim of averting monopoly control by NSI of the COM domain. The most important task facing the Internet community in the next half-year is doing whatever it takes to avert that monopoly control. COM should be a shared space, just like the space of North American toll-free numbers that are freely transferable between telephone carriers.
