Perhaps ICANN should auction off the rest of the ascii alphabet and use the cash
For the sake of argument, on what right would ICANN claim that money as its own? ICANN placed a restriction on single-letter TLDs once upon a time on the theory that the letters might be needed at some future time for expansion of the TLD space (i.e., that we might have, amazon.a.com, amazon.b.com, amazon.c.com, etc.). So if that need no longer exists, and the restriction can be removed, why do the auction profits go to ICANN and not the registry and registrar? -- Bret
