Looking at the .web registration
records on iodesign captures the essence of the entire debate. About ten different
individuals have registered 70% of the .web domains. (Marc Britton for one) Since
you state that you represent a number of these individuals it seems logical that
you'd want .web approved. Therefore it follows that you would suggest a registrar
be approved based on the length of time they have been taking registrations. I have
an opposite view. I feel the only fair way to introduce a new gTLD is to make clean
the slate, make a public announcement and have some sort of infrastructure in place
that would assure one name per customer (ip address) per day. That way our vote wouldn't
merely be facilitating your interest but allowing the true intent of further tld's
- access to valuable top level domains for those who have been shut out. The problem
with databases that date back four years is that their approval immediately creates
the same problem we face with .com's right now. Imagine the public outrage when .web
is announced and the quick realization that no one can get the name they want? (Compounded
when they realize that so few individuals have ownership of so many)We, as members
of icann are aware of such databses and registrars, the majority of the public is
not. I for one would be outraged if this were to happen and worse, we'd be right
back to square one. Surely what you propose is not a solution - merely a self serving
proposition.
