.us ccTLD?

from Greg Skinner (gds@best.com)
Generally speaking, I agree with your comments on what's worked best and least about ICANN. Regarding ICANN's scope, it is difficult to speculate on what it might be in the future, what powers its members might ask it to exercise over other aspects of the Internet, etc.

A lot of the controversy about domain names revolves around the importance that (particular) names are to effective Internet communication. Perhaps there should be some kind of study of the extent to which a particular domain name is effective under certain circumstances. For example, it has been argued that many personal domain names could be registered within the ccTLD (.us in particular). A study could determine the extent to which any rights or privileges of Internet communication are lost if one does not get a SLD of one's choosing.
