A number of excellent objections to raising the cap on info legacy TLDs have been explained here. I have another issue. I am an .info registrant for a small website that advocates for a specific issue. While .net is my main site, I forward from the .info domain to .net because I advocate for nonviolence on the topic and do not want those who advocate for violence to be able to use one of the top domain extensions to confuse themselves with my site. I also don't want it to be used to mimic or mock my site or even to defraud visitors. (My main site already was hacked once by possible opponents to the nonviolent philosophy.) Similar concerns apply to individuals who do not want their name sullied with false sites mocking or misrepresenting them. I find it difficult to believe that an organization like ICANN would force small organizations and websites that protect themselves in the same way have to let go of their .info extensions. This could lead to various attacks on their reputation. Yes, speculators and domain investors can be annoying. But at least if you want a domain back they'll sell it to you. Saboteurs will just hold on to it! I thought when the United States let ICANN go it was to serve the larger public and the world in a fairer way and help keep costs under control for countries with smaller GDP and personal and group incomes. But now I see just the opposite. I am very disappointed.
