Re: [ga] new to list and thoughts

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Corey and all,

  As you my or may not know, recently ICANN has delayed
the introduction of new gTLD's, for reasons that are not really
known in full, but has seemingly been cloaked in obviscation due
to the suit regarding .XXX previous application.

  That said, and FWIW, if you want to go ahead and submit an
application and send your check into ICANN along with your
business plan for your proposed TLD, feel free to do so at the
near certainty of not having your check returned if your application is
rejected or otherwise not approved.

  Frankly I don't find such a process very attractive from a business
or financial perspective, and would far rather take that same amount of
money and go to Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or the south of France,
and play Roulette, or some other game of chance with it, as my odds are
far better that I would profit, as a comparison only of course.  I don't
Gamble in this fashion at all.

  Other wise, welcome abroad, and keep your flame suit at the ready,
your life vest handy, and your opinions in check if they disagree with
the list monitors in any fashion.  So enjoy! >:)
