 I have no problem reserving these top level domains.
 There may even be more that should usefully be held
 for other uses. However when Eastlake and Panitz wrote:

 They overstepped the line. Secondary domain names are
 *not* appropriately managed from the Macro level or on
 a global basis. Every Domain Name Services Provider must
 determine it's own general policy in this respects.
 Under this line of reasoning they will be suggesting
