Prof. Froomkin,
The most basic economics teaches that black markets flourish where there is
an artificially restricted supply of the goods in question. Such is the case
with the entire cybersquatting/trademark dilemma. Your proposal for rolling
introductions is right on target, and Mr. Fleming's list identifies the
top-level domains for which the market indicates appropriate demand. There
is no need to guess the correct answer from a "top-down" approach.
