On the contrary, .corp is a widespread totally established internal use domain. Just like .dev was. No, it is not globally resolvable, but it is in the same namespace (no way to add a different namespace while retaining compatibility), is widely used and I don't see why a dozen or so widely used TLDs need to be auctioned off to Donuts co. or whoever. It's not like we have a shortage of words or even operational gTLDs these days. I'm not suggesting any TLD with 3 users should be off-limits (though I don't agree with gTLDs altogether) just the really widely established ones. If a project/group/whatever successfully squats a TLD and gets widely established, then it should be protected as well. If nothing else, then by squatting itself. We do not have another namespace for alternative resolution strategies, so ICANN should not simply rent away all names. Last time I heard, ICANN was corrupt. As far as I am concerned, they have no more right to assign .corp or whatever, than I have a right to reassign and use it for other purposes on my systems. I am not paying 185000$ for gTLD, nor renting a long domain to use for internal purposes, or with my friends.
