I am very much opposed to IATA as the administrator of the .Travel TLD. IATA
is an organization owned by airlines, just one facet of the travel industry.
I do not feel that IATA will be fair and impartial in the role of administrator.
No matter who is chosen to manage .Travel it is imperative that they be absolutely
impartial and owe no allegience to any segment of the travel industry. This
is not IATA.
Looking over the previous responses, I see that those in favor of
IATA all seem to be from airlines or airline employees. However, no other segment
of the travel industry (tour operators, hotels, car rentals, etc.) are supportive
of this proposal.
A completely independent and impartial entity should be
chosen to manage the TLD .Travel.
