To manage initial rush on day
one:
there is a simple solution for .web (and for TLDs proposed
by name-space.com
also).
The solution is to accept IOD's .web registry,
including all registrations
taken since 1996:
even though this same proposal is considered unfair
by other
people, other solutions are even worse!I am quoting my previous post on this matter:

The problem is that what you
call EQUAL means RANDOM on day one
(when .web is available). It will be a random
rush.
For example: I registered a few .web domains at IOD but I could
not register
"science.web" because it was not available.
On day one, I may be lucky and I may
be able to register
"science.web" . However, I am not sure this is fair, since
there
is someone who registered this at IOD a long time ago.
I wrote in other posts:
"To
wipe out existing IOD's registrations
can't avoid speculation either!!!
On
day one, there will be a random rush to register "business.web"
or whatever else,
and this will be based on luck only.
It is fair that they are given to who registered
them since 1996."
By the way...
Please notice that Afilias' Sunrise Period is
even worse.
They expect to register 500,000 domains during the Sunrise Period:
this
is far beyond TM protection! And general public would be
not allowed in this Sunrise
Period.
I firmly believe that to accept IOD's registry, including
all their
18,000 registrations, is the best solution
(even though some people think that
those registrations are unfair: the problem is that other solutions are even worse!!!)
