a New TLD is

thus so far). Since .WEB is the only,

Why .WEB ?
>
> 1. All inclusive
(unlike .Mall, .Biz, .news, et)
> 2. Non controversial (Unlike .Sex,.XXX,.Aids,
et)
> 3. Most recognized and well known prefix
>
(unlike .nom, .wap, .ypi, .svc, et)
> 4. Poses as a serious
contender to the already
> depleted .com, .net, .org suffixes
>
5. .WEB registry has been in continuous operation
> since
July 31, 1996
> 6. .WEB already holds a strong following and
>
tremendous support all over the world, from
>
Internet and non-Internet users
> 7. Image Online Design's .WEB application
meets
> all of ICANN's criteria
> 8. Over
20,000 registrants have approved of .WEB
> as their TLD selection
>
> Why Image Online Design?
>

>
registry

inception 4 years ago

> registrations in
the US, two-thirds of all
> domain registrations in
the world, and seeks
> to monopolize the domain name
market).
> 13. Does not undermine ICANN's goal to select a
>
diversity of proposals to become TLD's
>
(unlike NSI's Afilias that poses a
> transparent attempt
to circumvent this
> process).
