Registries:Registries should pass all application processes--i.e. Proven stable
operational data flow, Appropriate Capitalization, etc. etc. This Application Process
should be the Industry Standard. You, as a governing body, should know the
ins and outs of this process far better than us forum participants.
This Process
should logically take no more than one month to implement.
Structure of the Process
as follows: One initial Registry to a new TLD. Under this Registry are
several Registrars. Each Registry and Registrar having fullfilled the Application
Process Respectively for the Assigned Roles.
Now, this MUST be addressed whether
Chris Ambler wants it to or not. .web holds a TM on the .web name. No
problem. They have been in operation for years. They can be the Registry
for the .web IF .web is chosen as one of the new TLDs. There can be Registrars
under the Registry. This is the same process essentially that the .com and
.net, etc. format was based on. There is No confusion here like some would
like to believe.
Stability of the Internet:
This is not a real issue.
.com, .net, .org, .edu, .cc, etc. etc. have already Proven that the addition of new
TLDs should Not intefer with the stability of the Internet.
Timeframes:
There
have realistically been too many "white papers", "blue papers", whatever. You
already have at your disposal the necessary flow of data to know that a roll out
can be appropriate and viable by the end of July 2000.
TM Issues:
This is so
Simple. Name a TLD which appropriately represents TM holders. The presently
proposed "Sunrise Period" is NOT appropriate or warranted in the Internet Atmosphere.
If
you do not believe these are Viable Answers, I would ask that you hire our Firm of
Computer Specialists to Process and Integrate new TLDs into the Internet System.
It can be done, it can be done very quickly, swiftly and maintain the Integrity of
the Internet.
Sincerely,
VOR
