Goodlatte/Berman letter to Commerce over new gTLDs
The following letter was written three days after a House hearing on new gTLDs and within a heavy Washington DC atmosphere regarding intellectual property and the Internet, most notably in the drafting of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
Congress of the United States
House of Representatives
Washington DC 20515
December 16. 2011
The Honorable John Bryson

Dear Mr. Secretary:
We write to express serious concerns about the decision by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to dramatically expand the number of generic Top Level Domain names (gTLDs) without adequate review of the impact of a full implementation.
