From: Louis Touton <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]

Dear Mike,

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your
inquiry regarding "d.com".

The IANA obtained the registration for d.com and most other
single-character names under .com in 1993 (the prior reference
to 1992 was in error) to implement its policy designed to
enhance the extensibilty of the domain-name space. Since
then, these names have been continuously under registration
by the IANA. The IANA has received many inquiries from people
seeking to register these names. As required by the existing
policy, the IANA advises those inquiring that these names are
already registered to the IANA and reserved for infrastructure
purposes to help ensure stable operation of the Internet.
The IANA has uniformly turned down all offers by third parties
to purchase the right to register these names.

Four of the single-character names under .com were registered
by other parties before the IANA entered its registration of
these names. The registrations of these names have been (and
are) grandfathered for the time being. Recently some of these
registrations have been transferred from one third party to
another. Those transfers are consistent with the grandfathering
policy.

Having assumed the responsibility for operating the IANA, and
for overall technical management of the Internet, ICANN is
following the same policies for the operation of the IANA as
were followed by Dr. Postel and his colleagues at the Information
Sciences Institute. ICANN's charter and bylaws, together with its
obligations under its various agreements with the United States
Government, establish consensus-based procedures for modification
of existing policies, fostering participation by affected parties.
Until the policy is changed by the established procedures, ICANN
is required to continue its registration of the single-letter
.com domain names for the benefit of the Internet community.

While one can understand your company's desire to adopt a catchy
name such as "d," trademark it, and use "d.com" as its domain name,
giving up these domain names to private parties would, as
reflected in existing policy, restrict the IANA's ability to
fulfill its responsibility to ensure a stable, extensible domain-
name system.

Best regards,

Louis Touton
ICANN Vice President
