Assoc. of National Advertisers Blasts ICANN gTLD Plan,<br>
Threatens Action to Stop It<br>
<br>
<a href="http://j.mp/p9fXyH" target="_blank">http://j.mp/p9fXyH</a> (ANA)<br>
<br>
"ICANN must not ignore the legitimate concerns of brand owners and the<br>
debilitating effect on consumer protection and healthy markets its<br>
unsupervised actions will cause. Should ICANN refuse to reconsider and<br>
adopt a program that takes into account the ANA's concerns expressed<br>
in this letter, ICANN and the Program present the ANA and its members<br>
no choice but to do whatever is necessary to prevent implementation of<br>
the Program and raise the issues in appropriate forums that can<br>
consider the wisdom, propriety and legality of the program."<br>
<br>

<br>
The ANA letter is quite comprehensive and very much worth<br>
reading in its entirety.<br>
