Ask HN: What can ICANN and we do to reduce parked domains?

2 pointsby skkbitsabout 11 years ago
Recently I was looking for a domain name for generic english word. No surprise that it wasn't available and almost every reasonable typing/sounding variant was taken and parked for ads. What can we ( We as in people of each country) and ICANN do to reduce this situation ? This will be one step closer towards reducing spam and noise. What do you think ?

don't. it will become political. maybe free for non profits. approval for connected people. an oligarchy will form. meanwhile others can't even get a domain name, waiting for their request to be approved..and it'll probably be pricey. now its just your imagination/flexibility on which combination of letters/hyphens/numbers and a few dollars a year. a free for all(who can afford us$10/year).
