			<description><![CDATA[World's mega businesses are about to wake up to the domain name expansion reality, where suddenly a name identity's exclusive ownership on global canvas of cyber branding and functionality will be ensured via gTLD. Something that traditional trademark system took years to achieve. A gTLD brand is not for everyone, structurally designed for powerful new ideas and established organizations around the world; however, following are the ten reasons why it may not work for you. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/10_reasons_why_new_gtlds_may_not_work_for_you">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Coalition for Responsible Internet Domain Oversight, or CRIDO, released a plan they called a "peacemaker" three days before the Jan. 12th, 2012 launch, which would allow brands to begin the ICANN application process but would allow organizations and companies the opportunity to place their brand names, without cost, on a temporary "do not sell" list. ICANN so far has not responded to the "do not sell" list, and CRIDO is getting restless and threatening lawsuits. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120119_crido_sells_do_not_sell_list">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The global trademark laws have served the business community well during the last century. But is it possible that with the advent of ICANN gTLD, a new layer of speed and protection would complement the trademark holders to further establish their name identity presence and visibility in the complex marketplace? Although the trademark laws have served the business community very well during the last century, now with the advent of ICANN gTLD platform, it appears that it will provide an additional layer of speedy protection and increase the name identity visibility resulting in market domination via name identity. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/trademarks_tango_in_cyber_ballrooms">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The curtain rises on January 12th 2012 but key players are still singing different tunes. Let's peek into their performance as they start taking center stage. FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, has sent a letter to ICANN on December 16th 2011. Re: Consumer Protection Concerns Regarding New gTLDs. They write; "We write now to highlight again the potential for significant consumer harm resulting from the unprecedented increase in new gTLDs." The following paragraph clearly highlights the lack of information about the ICANN gTLD platform. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/the_gtld_opera">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20111130_creative_vertigo_the_spin_of_the_icann_branding_revolution</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The word gTLD has been added to the hardcore lexicon of global branding. Why is this new spin causing vertigo to some? Before you say anything else like 'what'? Just hold on. It makes no difference whether you already are an expert on gTLD or not. The fact is it's in your face and we all have to deal with it for a long time, so deal with it. On the internet today, from around the world, there are over 10,000 articles on ICANN's gTLD... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20111130_creative_vertigo_the_spin_of_the_icann_branding_revolution">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> Will Google Search Replace Domain Names? (Featured Blog)</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/will_google_search_replace_domain_names</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The growing notion among big advertising agencies and brand marketers is that as search engines find answers instantly, there's no real need to enter a domain name in the browser and therefore domain names are far less important. They're absolutely right. Why would you type www.rolex.com when you can simply enter 'Rolex' and be there before you blink? But where they are seriously wrong is when you enter anything like 'Interlink', 'Pronet', 'National Trust', 'Premier Traders' or 'United Manufacturing', uncontrollable citations will gush out from every corners of the world. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/will_google_search_replace_domain_names">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/the_icann_gtld_battlefield_the_fog_of_war</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Concerning ICANN's new generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) program, why is the Association of National Advertisers whose members spends 400 billion on their 10,000 brands so violently opposed? Bob Liodice President &amp; CEO of ANA recently wrote an article "How to (Unnecessarily) Encumber The Internet And The Economy" in Forbes highly critical of ICANN but clearly missing the mark. This misunderstanding demands clarification, the fog is getting dense so let's explore some facts. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/the_icann_gtld_battlefield_the_fog_of_war">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/a_made_up_fantasy_the_icann_gtld_reality</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Gary Elliot, chairman of the Association of National Advertisers and vice president of global marketing at Hewlett-Packard, wrote a column in Advertising Age titled "ICANN's Promises Aren't Simply Speculation, They're Outright Fantasy." His arguments opposing ICANN gTLDs are similar to the other heads of various advertising associations around the world. While the main powerbrokers of the global advertising sector are mum, their association heads are using the same circulated message of cyber-squatting fears without any solid proof. Here is my analysis and an open challenge to the trade. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/a_made_up_fantasy_the_icann_gtld_reality">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/war_of_words_the_gtld_weaponry</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Why would the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), representing 400 member organizations and their 10,000 brands that spend $250 billion annually, be so wrong about ICANN's generic top-level domain (gTLD) program? They're complaining as if new gTLDs are being sold overnight in dark alleys with a no questions asked policy in exchange of a large suitcase filled with newly printed currency. This is definitely not the case, so what did they miss? <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/war_of_words_the_gtld_weaponry">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When all you have is a hammer, everything appears to be a nail. The generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) are not just about trademark filing and battle posturing or cyber-squatting. They are about the potential to create unusual global intellectual properties offering multiple opportunities for rapid image expansion and - most importantly - the achievement of market domination via name identity. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/who_will_give_birth_to_the_gtlds_first_billion_dollar_domain_baby">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[On the other hand, major dot brand generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) are for internal and controlled sub registrations, they would not be open to first come public offerings and therefore it makes no sense for IBM to plan advance purchase of ibm.canon, as Canon, owner of their own gTLD dot canon, unless mutually agreed between two brands, would have no incentive to sell such a registration to a cyber squatter or to anyone else for that matter. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110619_end_of_cyber_squatting_the_gtld_advantage">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Obviously, the market will explode if there were a few hundred new gTLDs creating global excitement and building new platforms on ecommerce and cyber-branding. The media hype and breakaway stories will create a boom to the traffic; all types of new and old names will be registered under current and re-registered under new gTLDs wherever possible. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/will_icanns_gtld_flood_the_sub_domain_registrations">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There soon will be a central place for Web surfers to dwell in a forbidden cyber land of adult fantasies, sex, dark rituals and total taboos. Finally, ICANN has given in to the pressure and has tossed a big rock across the turbulent e-commerce ocean. It has approved a new suffix, .xxx, for adult-only porn sites, creating ripples and debates in ever so confusing global cyber branding times when cyber global domain name challenges are being fought in the complex earthly trademark realities. Three things are bound to happen. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110318_do_not_enter_its_xxx_again">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why is so much fear being created in the name of protecting trademark owners? Say, if ICANN allowed some third party a generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) called <em>.panasonic</em> will the sky fall? No, not at all, as Panasonic, the true and rightful TM holder will hit the unauthorized gTLD with a 2x4 and no judge would oppose issuing a cease-and-desist order.

			<description><![CDATA[What will happen to dotcom once a thousand generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) applications were approved and start to skate around on global cyber platforms? Nothing, firstly, there are over 200,000,000 dotcoms while these 1000 exotic high profile gTLD will not even make a scratch to the dotcom market. Secondly, a dotcom is about $10 plus while gTLD is $500,000 plus... After all gTLD are never supposed to be for everyone, as they can only be fitted to right and very special combinations. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/the_dotcom_kingdom">More...</a>]]></description>
