RE: '.wow': Solution Looking For a Problem
Adding more domain names is a solution that is looking for a problem. The ICANN announcment resulted in discussion and speculation. Is expansion supposed to solve trademark issues, brandability tangles, the conundrum of how many gTLDs will be successful? Or has ICANN decided to take an unexpected leap into the for-profit arena? All this wasted time and energy would have been better channeled into finding the best solution, or at least an acceptable solution, to the mysterious problem that ICANN is trying to address.

The often-sited justification that ?free markets decide what's successful? is hollow. It is true that markets can provide a solution to a given problem. But, markets cannot solve "it," when the ?it? is mysterious.
