As an ICANN accredited registrar and partner of New.net,
BulkRegister would like to respond in full support of New.net and their product
offering. New.net has made every effort to be a responsible citizen of
the Internet name space – providing a needed solution to many businesses
and customers on the Internet, including those in the travel industry and other
specific niche markets. They have been a trusted partner of ours for over three
years now.
Furthermore, New.net’s move at the onset of its business
in 2001 to not introduce any conflicting TLDs or confusingly similar extensions
was the responsible and right decision, and any move by other parties to
counter those efforts could risk introducing consumer confusion and Net
instability – running counter to ICANN’s charter and representing a
step back in the evolution of the Internet namespace.
An innovative company, New.net began providing a product that
worked to fulfill a need not served by existing domains. Thousands of
BulkRegister customers have chosen to register and, most importantly, renew
their New.net domains, proving their ultimate value. These customers and
many others currently served by New.net and their .travel domain offering would
be greatly disadvantaged by the current proposal of Tralliance. All
involved would be best served and protected by a cooperative transition plan.
