Sir, I may be a "funny guy", as you say,
but I am still the
"generic Internet user".
Your nice words can't change this truth:
I registered
a few .web domains at IOD
AFTER I understood that they are the natural
and
fair choice for ICANN and for the Internet.
Do you know statistics?
A sample
of 1% can show the general trends and shares
of the whole 100%.
Inside this
1% sample, if 90% is favorable to IOD and 10%
is against IOD, you can be sure
that in the whole 100%
there will be similar shares - similar means 85% or 94%
or
something near 90%.
I understand that it is difficult to explain this AT THIS TIME,
since
statistics failed to forecast the new President of the USA.
However, this is due
to actual equality between Gore and Bush -
even the smallest samples did show
that they were 50% and 50%.
As you can see in ICANN forums, around 90% of generic
Internet
users prefer IOD. This is what happened to myself.
So this case is
very different from the Gore/Bush case:
there would be no doubt about the winner...

OK,
I understand that you are one of the 10% against IOD.
Please remember that 90%
is pro IOD.
Finally:
if you mean that 99% of people did not even know that IOD
existed,
please notice that 99,9% of people did not even know that NSI
was
taking pre-registrations for .com in 1993 .
Anyway, such pre-registrations are
valid at this time.
I would like to register italy.com and italia.com
but I
can't - they were registered in 1993.
So what? Do you think that those registrations
are valid or not?
