In support of a new .co-op top level domain-
I concur with the ICANN staff conclusion
that .co-op is technically and financially sound.The broad public support for
.co-op is evident and should make this a #1 choice for a new TLD
.co-op
will make a difference to Internet users across the globe. Few human endeavors are
as globally recognized as cooperatives.
Consumers will value .co-op for enabling
them to easily and quickly find internet resources associated with cooperatives -
a business structure people trust.
The new TLDs should strive to fulfill unmet
needs on the Internet. A co-op domain is the Special Purpose TLD that will truly
make a difference on the Internet.
