Mr. Gaetano, (ICANN)
This means the object lesson worked, to some degree, at least. You
would not sign his name on your e-mails because you know that would
be confusing and even be consodered as theft of his personal product
or identity, right? Great! Can ICANN learn this lesson BEFORE they
auction off known colliding TLDs?
Actually his reasons for not to be confused with me may be different
:-) but never mind, the important point is confusion. I suppose
Roberto grasps it. Now, the problem is that we are at an equilibrium
because all the actors are agreeing to respect the status quo. For
example, threre is a long time the Internet would not work properly
if spammers could not use it. They would retaliate.
My real fear is that ICANN engages itself in a TLD war by ignorance
while it seems it does not understand well how the DNS works. I am
afraid because it is certainly difficult and costly to build a TLD,
but it is so easy to destroy it. When you think it took six months or
so, to discover that someone took the ICANN former root server
address and resolved ....
They are lawyers, diplomats, politicians, etc. not DNS operators.
Happily, their slowlyness and money greed will delay the things and
potect the internet in the meabwhile. IMHO when they start collecting
the TLD projects' money the network will have changed. If they do not
make too much errors, their move can even help keeping the market
quite and protect us when introducing gcTLDs (geocultural suffixes).
