Re: [council] gTLD registries' paper on new TLds
Jeff,
I think that this revised version is much better, since it mentions
application provide3rs along ISPs (in my experience, the former are more
responsible of communication failures attached to new TLDs thatn the
latter). It also helps that it does not sound anymore as "pointing the
finger" to a given constituency...
A couple of suggestions:
* in the recommendation section, I think that we could/should add an
action item for other consituencies, such as distributing a sort of
"revised DNS primer" or just a remidner of what the statement says to
ISPs but also applicati9on providers and e-commerce site operators, so
as to bring their attention to this point.
* the follwoing paragraph confuses me:
"Prior to November 2000, the list of valid TLDs very seldom changed, and
only a few ccTLDs were added to the list, including Palestine (.ps) and
Afghanistan (.af)."
In fact, prior to November 2000 the list changed much more than after
that date... even if it was quite stable since late 1997. The reference
to .af is in any misleading, as it was created in 1997, among many, many
others. In fact, as far as I can remember, the only ccTLD effectively
added duing ICANN existance is .ps (with .eu in the pipeline, but not
yet active, as .tl which should replace .tp, but which is apparently
in a limbo somewhere between ISO and IANA....). .af had a difficult
life, including disappearences and redelgations, but it was created well
before 2000.
