Re: [ga] Has there been any progress on a .REL gTLD?

[Jeffrey Williams <jwkckid2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Karl,

  The most recognized interpretations of the US Constitution
never recognized satanism as a religion.  Contractually that
issue could be addressed in a proposal for a .REL gTLD.

  I cannot speak to your suggestion of a .ttt as a better TLD name space
for Christian matters as I am not sure what it would
intuitively denote accordingly.  What I can say is that a .REL is more
easily a recognizable denotation and one that has been
publicly discussed and considered in general terms.

  Yes Jesus did do as you suggest.  My reference to same I still believe
was as stated in accordance with your statement
to same below.  But thank you for the further clarification. Well done!

  What is and has been clear is that ICANN has failed in its efforts to try
to protect children and young adults in their decisions
on introduction of the TLD name space to such ends, yet I amongst many
others warrned at the time that such an effort
needed to be approached carefully and with due consideration to the how
to's to the ends, rather than the means.

God bless,
Jeffrey A. Williams
