Re: [ga] New gTLDs

We should begin to develop some positions regarding the new gTLDs.
Just in general I am for letting them all come in and letting the market dictate success or failure. Of course there need be a few more safegaurds than pure caveat emptor.

Oh - on that note the market has spoken. www.inaic.com and www.unifiedroot.com - mind you the market has been represented by crooks - but many leading corporations - and at least some people subscribed here have supported the inended approach of the market had it remained honest. The caveat emptor here is the simple question will icann listen?

ICANN must share the namespace. Too many root fragmentations as a result of icann. Market numbers are 100000 TLDs china root, IDNs root, arab root, newroot etc etc etc. and of course the internet showboat that has resulted as an explosion of namespace.

I would like to see a tld process that does not result in collissions. That is a technical necessity to make the internet work. ICANN has to ensure their TLDs do not collide with ours in the inclusive name space. And like wisethe same is true for us.

I'll get back to you on the INS WG. Thats a TLDA question. They are the founders of the inclusive name space replacement for ICANN. What we lack are policies and safeguards against corruption, and simple allocation policies. And we need community input. That could be the WG?
