Subject: top level domain authority request

Hello:

I represent the interests of the top level domains herein listed:

        .cum, .doctor, .god, .mlm and .satan.

It has come to our attention that you have opened a top level domain root
server authority at http://tldns.com/.  We ask that you not register any
top level domains which are in conflict with the above designated domains.

All of these domain are populated, and with the exception of .mlm and .cum
- have been in operation for some years on our dedicated network
infrastructure.

At this time I am requesting we work together to avoid conflicts.  This is
not a legal demand, although we researve that option.

In order to avoid conflicts we have available a resource for identifying
potential conflicts.

        see     http://www.pccf.net/temp/tld/

you can also reference an old survey of the top level domain
infrastructure at:

                http://www.earth-net.net/GTLD/database.html

On a more positive note - my congratulation on your attempts and efforts
to break the top level domain name block.  We strongly recommend you join
the icann conferences which are currently discussing these issues.

                http://www.icann.org/

        and     http://www.dnso.org/

Top level domain issues are scheduled to be discussed in Santiago - May 24
- 26.  Meeting detail are available at:

                http://www.icann.org/santiago/santiago-details.htm

You can attend on IRC, and view the meeting in real audio.  You may want
to invite you new tld registrants to participate.

Cheers
Joe Baptista
