postheadericon ICANN's New Trademark 'Clearinghouse' Resembles Mobsters' 'Insurance' Program

We found over the years that the new "top level domains" Programs ICANN often feel more like a form of blackmail brand owners who feel the need to buy all new commercial domain names, only to prevent other to get them. Now, ICANN has gone a step further by streamlining the process by launching a "mall" where companies can register a trademark and get early access to "buy" all new top-level domains with your brand before they reach the open market. Of course, "supporters" are pushing companies to join ... and step really sounds like the typical mafia shakedown:
