I also agree with you about the horrible business implications for Afilias of letting
so many Sunrise squatters sit on the best names for 6 months... They will not invest
much to develop them while they are waiting to see if they are challenged or not.
If you take the best names out of development for 6 months, this is a critical hole
at a time of establishing credibility for the extension. Having said this,
I think that there is such underlying merit to the .info extension that it may still
prosper. Also, the moment that Afilias adopts something like the DomeBase Proposal
and announces a Land Rush II, this will set in motion a postive chain reaction which
will help promote .info in a more positive light.
