Re: [ga] Week # 2: New TLD Selection Criteria

["kidsearch" <kidsearch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll list the selection criteria.

1. Someone wants to start a new tld.

2. The tld is not already being offered by someone else.

3. They are within a set limit of the number of tlds they can manage.

4. They have not previously failed at running a tld.
