Re: [registrars] Ross's Motion - Suggeseted Amendment
On 9/18/2003 2:07 PM Rob Hall noted that: Ross: I agree it needs to suspend the current .com implementation. I am a little softer on the .museum folks, as I understand they have been doing it for a while, and frankly, none of us gave a damn. Given that they did it with ICANN permission, I see no reason to back step them as well. Just Verisign, who ignored process and went ahead on their own ... damn the torpedoes. To borrow Vixie's words - its about expectations. .tv, .museum and .cc registrants expect wildcards in their TLD, as do application developers and ISPs. No one expects this of .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .aero, .name or .pro. Anyone on this latter list must go through a community consultation before they can offer this service - in order that we can, as a "community" determine whether its reasonable to a) change our expectations regarding the status quo, or b) disallow the use of wildcards in a specific domain for specific reasons. Drawing the lines seems very simple from my perspective.
