to be honest, the requirement to have the name available in all three TLDs.com.net.org limited my possible options. I had bought few domains earlier, but they weren't available in all three TLDs, so I didn't submit them for voting...
I don't argue that the requirement is wrong. Hard to decide, maybe it is a good one.

That's also the reason I haven't suggested any names this time. Some of my suggestions only makes sense in some of those TLDs.
If the reason for that requirement is to limit the chance of IP issues, as mentioned here [soylentnews.org], just say so, e.g. by changing the first criteria to "free of obvious IP issues" and drop the IMHO useless requirement of "available in.com,.net and.org".
BTW: What about the suggestions we have made months ago when the voting was mentioned the first time? Do we need to make those suggestions again or are they already on the list?

Same with a domain I registered, and I'm thinking I shouldn't add mine in either. We meant that to be an ideal case, but it seems everyone is reading it as law. Might be too late to change the wording at this point.

Which is why the list will be much shorter than it needs to be and will be missing a lot of the good suggestions.
It almost feels like that rule was put in place to help soylentnews, since "they" already got that option in all three TLDs.

It's a stupid rule and it should be changed ASAP! Extend the voting for a week, if needed. Just fix the rules, so we can get the good suggestions on the list. Otherwise a lot of us will feel that the voting was rigged, not what the community really wanted.

We need to make them again, it was said clearly.
