Marketability, mnemonics and other non-technical areas should not be
factors for inclusion in the root. That is a market/business model issue
and from a global standpoint is a huge red herring. ICANN should not
enter into anything having to do with "market." End user satisfaction is
also a market/business model issue. Why should any part of ICANN
determine who can be in business or operate a TLD from a non-
technical standpoint?
