Christopher,
That would be great and you make
excellent points; however, most of us might feel that ICANN already should know the
parameters for Registries, etc. This would be a Common thought process, I would think.See,
in my mind's eye, Registries would have guidelines. These "guidelines" should already
be in effect. This makes that part not necessary to discuss.
ICANN & Whoever
else this applies to:
This is a VERY SIMPLE issue. You either add new TLDs
or not. Comeon, this has been discussed for years now. That is a very
simple situation. Do or don't. To Christopher's first part: My
view is to add the TLDs.
If you do, then decide on what the TLDs are,
and, to give my input to Christopher's second part: How? The same as
being done now. Reason: .com format is working well. There are
problems with any format and will be. You can add .whatevertld, add them to
the A Root. This is really not a complicated process.
The answer to the Trade
Mark issue: .reg or some TLD similar. The Sunrise Proposal is UNacceptable
and majorly flawed.
Christopher,
I respect your thoughts in your post; but,
ICANN should already have the answers to the "technical" side of things. Realistically,
the only thing that should need deciding is the naming of the TLDs.
