"IOD has not demonstrated the ability to grow".
Of course IOD has not grown:
in
the last 4 years neither ICANN nor IANA accepted IOD's .web
registry yet, even
though it was and right and proper.So the correct comment is:
"IOD has not
grown because its .web registry was not introduced
into the root server" .
Now
this logic has been reversed in the TLD review:
"IOD's .web registry does not
deserve to be introduced into the
root server because IOD did not grow" !!!
What
kind of logic is this?!!!
Give them .web and they will grow fast.
If you are
afraid that they cannot manage a big registry,
please don't worry too much: they
can't do worse than NSI,
that has created a lot of troubles to .com registrants
so far!!!!!!!
So, what are you worrying about?
