..and against the spirit of the internet.
What right does Icann have to clamp
down on alternative roots?
(Is this discussion paper trying to lay the foundations
for future action...?)There is no concern for instability if alternative roots
contain the same information for popular tld's.
And it is in the PUBLIC GOOD if
internet users are able to choose an foreign or alternative domain name and choose
to do so with the FULL KNOWLEDGE that the tld is in an alternative root and only
accessible to a limited audience.
They are exercising their competitive CHOISE.
If
such a tld were to become popular, and Icann intended to replicate it, then it would
be ICANN that would cause instability and confusion, not the publicly accepted alternative
tld.
