Now though, many are worried about what impact the rollout of the domains will have on them.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on the IT Pro Portal, Sally Tomkotowicz stated it is perfectly acceptable for a company such as Nike to apply for ownership of .nike. However, when it comes to generic terms, she has reservations.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Tomkotowicz said she is buoyed by the recent announcement by ICANN, which said when it comes to ownership of strings representing generic terms, exclusive registry access &#8220;should serve a public interest goal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, Ms. Tomkotowicz thinks the only way to &#8220;foster competition and
