Kosher war over proposed .kosher gTLD<br>
<br>

"A group calling itself Kosher Marketing Assets LLC had been the sole<br>
applicant for the TLD, and in its application it aims to "promote<br>
awareness of the TLD through press releases and direct communications<br>
with customers of OK Kosher Certification." But now, according to a<br>
new report by Bloomberg, five rival kosher certifying organizations<br>
and companies have banded together to halt Kosher Market Assets LLC<br>
and its parent company OK Kosher ... Meanwhile, .halal and .amazon are<br>
among the slew of other domain names that are also under dispute."<br>

"Oy vey!" -- Of course this isn't funny at all, and demonstrates just<br>
one of the pervasive flaws in ICANN's ever-morphing gTLD expansion<br>
plans.<br>
