 PRIOR USE. Alternative TLD holders
 have as much right to legitimately
 claim .FCN, .WTV (or .WHATEVER) as
 Internic has to claim .COM and .ORG.

 Since no governement I support with
 my taxes or any International body
 my elected representatives sanction
 has governed the process we are all
 equally free to claim TLD's within
 the limitations of PRIOR USE. Recall
 no-one has yet claimed hundreds of
 TLD's. Just a few. All within reason.
 Just like Internic. We are following
 established practices and have PRIOR
 USE. Let's see anyone try and reverse
 this. Very unwise behaviour IMHO.
