I believe there is some redundancy in the current proposed gTLD's and
that we can simplify the naming structure.

I suggest the following gTLD's:

.biz for commercial businesses as .com is.
.web for entities emphasizing activities related to the World Wide Web
.art for entities emphasizing cultural and entertainment activities
.rec for entities emphasizing recreation/entertainment activities
.per for those wishing individual or personal nomenclature
.inf for entities providing information services

I believe we should stay with the 3 character TLD as already common
practice.
We have to look at what the general public will view as desirable
addresses.
In the .biz proposal, registrants could register both .com & .biz to the
same IP.

Additionally, CORE, POC & PAB should look at a comprehensive outreach
program, including shared advertising of the new gTLD'S and what that
means to end users.
