Countries complain about gTLDs

[chris]

A short summary post listing a few of the oppositions to new gTLDs:

India doesn’t want .ram. France objects to .vin. Brazil opposes .amazon, and China .shangrila.

Those are the proposed top-level domain names that some companies want. But several countries have complained, according to the world body that assigns them.

Australia gets a mention with .wtf:

Australia is blocking .wtf, saying it finds term has an “overtly negative or critical connotation.”
