Security and ongoing content quality verification is important at several levels.First,
when one registers a domain. It is important that proper checks are done to
ensure that the applicant has a right to the name, that the applicant is not just
trying to hoard domain names and that there are no trademark and copyright conflicts.
It
is also important to verify the security of the site hosting
environment.
After
that, security has a central role as part of a bundled set of
services that can
be provided to the site sponsors.
To bring to the Internet Society an ongoing quality
verification of the content will truly provide an entirely new dimension of
Internet, which has not yet been achieved. Combining this with a "reversed"
price list,for example, that makes it also affordable for the small users and the
start ups, it seems like the people behind the dot GO concept have a good idea here.
In
my view, having reviewed the applications submitted, only .go has the right idea
and above all the necessary resources for offering a service that is truly unique
and a value added to the Internet Community.
I my self has been involved and development
with security systems in business cases.
ICANN should hounor an innovation, things
brings value to the Internet.
