Instead of adding 6-10 new gtlds, it might be prudent to first add only one gtld
and to see what happens. 1. Why not just activate the "old" .web, which already
in 1996 was given to image online design, but still has not been added to the A-root
servers.
2. The pre-registrations through Core concerning .web should not be added
or only after the ones of image online and in that case not through any round-robin
method, as this method seems to me highly unserious, creating a two class registration-service
including an extremely expensive "premium-pre-registring" service to "safely" register
a domain name. This is worse than what we have right now.
3. Besides that, image
online has a trademark on .web and I can imagine, that this might cause serious legal
problems.
4. Apart from that it would be kind of strange to be discussing the
trademark problems in ICANN and at the same time infringe the .web trademark ...
5.
The best solution seems to me to take over the registrations already effected through
image online design (the same way as it happened with the .com registrations effected
earlier by networksolutions) and then to allow all the official registers of .com,
.org and .net gTLDs to extend their services to the new .web gTLD.
6.This would
make new domain names available, solve the legal .web problem and give an opportunity
to learn how the internet reacts or changes in case new gTLDs are added.
