Danny,
   
  History is a wonderful thing to keep in the front of our minds. This is why i begin each day with readings from the Bible, the Koran and from our Teacher Buddha. What do we know that was not learned before?
  Your quote in reflection of Karls' point by point ease of starting up a TLD makes me laugh. Are we so weather beaten by the throngs and quills of political arrows that we forget how to walk because we run so hard to and from the perceived enemies.
  If we look back in time and set five women in a room; one a complete techno nerd, one a lawyer, one a .comsumer, one a marketer and one a politician, and ask them: and demand they do not leave until an answer is found for new TLDs and one that must be fashioned in love. It would not matter the year, post Postel. They would answer - Let Freedom Reign!
   
  I have in my memory meeting with you in Melbourne, with YJ, and Joop and cornering Elizebeth and begging Peter and the ccTLDs and Del Ray and Multilingualism and resistance and sitting and watching in Montevideo and my second trip to Tunisia. History only changes when we care enough to change it. Because today is tommorrows' history.

  "This transformation of the Internet into a global
communication medium has greatly increased the size of
the Internet community, as well as the diversity and
intensity of views held by it members. Perhaps no
issue has generated as passionate an expression of
diverse, and often conflicting, views as has the issue
of whether, when and how new gTLDs should be added to
the Internet. A recent report by the World
Intellectual Property Organization had this to say
about that debate:

It is not a secret that the questions of whether, how
and when new gTLDs should be added have attracted a
diversity of views, if not sharply divided views. At
one end of the spectrum, certain Internet
constituencies have maintained that the Internet
should be an open system and that, at least in
principle, any person should be able to introduce a
new top-level domain, leaving the market to be the
ultimate arbiter of its success. At the other end of
the spectrum, some stakeholders have expressed
strongly the view that no new TLDs should be added, at
least at this stage. Among the reasons in support of
this latter position is a belief that there is
currently no demonstrated need for additional name
space and that adding new gTLDs will aggravate
intellectual property problems and create consumer
confusion."
