Proposal for renewal of .COOP

["Rahul Goel" <rahul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sir/ Madam,
 
I am an Advocate in India. I am qualified software engineer and have completed 
my LLM in Information Technology, Media and E-Commerce law at the University of 
Essex (UK). My practice focuses on technology & telecom laws, e-commerce 
laws, intellectual property laws, and WTO laws. 
 
In this era of e-globalization, it is important for every professional 
individual or organization, group, society or government to have an easy and 
identifiable access to its members/consumers/clients/citizens (as the case may 
be) etc. The domain names on Internet have acted as a medium to connect and 
bridge this divide. 
 
However, with most of the TLD?s being already taken over by corporates and 
individuals, the need for sector/service specific, professional TLDs have long 
been felt. The TLD?s like .AERO, .COOP and .MUSEUM have been able to give 
distinct identities to their respective service areas and have provided an 
alternate means to individuals/ companies for representation on the internet, 
in their relevant fields.
 
The new TLDs are gaining popularity world over and have been able to give 
identity to their service sectors in an outstanding manner. Therefore, I am of 
the opinion that the proposals may be renewed. It may further be advised that 
the price of domain registration for .COOP should be kept at par with other 
TLDs (.COM/ .NET/ .ORG).
 
Best regards,
 
Rahul Goel
