  > Australia objects to most everything else including .sucks It's important to note that this isn't because it offends them, but because whoever holds it can basically print cash once brands start realizing they need to register (brand).sucks before anyone else does.

    Fair enough. They appear to object with 1 of following 2 reasons: 1) Company X does not appear to specify sufficient mechanisms to allow communities to protect their names and reputations from misuse at the second level, except through defensive registrations. or 2) Company X is proposing to exclude any other entities, including potential competitors, from using the TLD. Restricting common generic strings for the exclusive use of a single entity could have unintended consequences, including a negative impact on competition.

    I would instigate a rule that to register a whatever.sucks you have to be unaffiliated with the brand/company in question.
