Subject: Domain Names Submission

I have an issue with the current domain naming submission process.  It appears to be 
quite inflexible in its approach to allowing domain names that will protect a business 
from being exploited.

An example is my company The Computer Guy.com which currently has the domain name 
www.tcguy.com.au registered.

I applied for a domain name www.thecomputerguys.com.au via Melbourne IT and was told that 
the addition of the letter "s" prohibited me from using this domain name.  I want to 
protect my company from being exploited by other companies using my good name.

Could this issue (or ones similar) please be discussed by the panel?
