> Why the EU needs its own TLD while e.g. NATO can get by with *.nato.int is is another
matter, but I don't think .eu will (or can) be prone to the misuses you are worried
about. <Well, there's no way to compare the EU and the NATO!!
The EU will one
day be a confedration, maybe the united stated of europe, and that makes it something
very different in comparison with NATO, WTO, IMF or other .int-candidates.
I don't
say that eu.int isn't accurate at the moment for the commission, the parliament or
the other organisations, but in future to come that has to change.
Why does only
the us have the right to get .gov and .mil for their puposes? It's only because
the US dominate the internet as a whole, and so they oppress it and push their interests
against any others.
I hope that this will change a bit with our vote for the ICANN
board directors, and the creation of .eu is an important step.
I, as a european
citizen, would prefer a .eu-domain above anything else.
The ICANN board has always
to look at the future, and not always pull their head down behind the barriers of
the todays' Status Quo.
