Protected from what?<br>
<br>
Since when does someone own .ngo? If so, who?<br>
<br>
Why .intl? Who has rights in that? Why?<br>
<br>
JFC, I believe that the whole attitude here is wrong. I strongly resist the idea that we can create fiat global property rights in alphanumeric character strings just because someone on an email list thinks it's a good idea to "protect" whatever happens to be his or her pet organization. Lets try to be more systematic and think about long term consequences, clear rules, etc.<br>
