<< Of course, I suspect most people here will totally dismiss the CORE system
because they have preregistered their .web domains through IOD, but humor me. Why
support IOD preregistrations and not CORE preregistrations? >>>
Because
IOD has First Use authorization--nearly a year before CORE came on the scene with
its gTLD's proposal.
Because ICANN has declared that it wants one registry per
new gTLD, and by declaring CORE the .web registry, you are screwing IOD out of its
claim--the extension it has been diligently developing a database around for 4-5
years; but if you declare IOD the registry for .web, CORE can have rights to any
of the other gTLDs it has been opened to registration (.biz, .store., .art, etc.).
And
because IOD's systems seem far more polished than CORE's--and ICANN has declared
that maintaining the integrity of the Internet root upon incorporation of the new
gTLDs, is of paramount importance.
