And the outcome of all this affects every Nanog member. It affects every network operator, every ISP, every sysop. It affects the 1.2 million owners of the 1.2 million domain names in COM and NET and ORG.

Carl, I don't think there are 1.2 million domain name registrants as many domains (like CyberPromo, for example) has registered multiple domains names. That being said, there is already an alternative in the county code domains. There, the policies are different (though not necessarily better) than NSI. That's not to say that the exising gTLD infrastructure does not need to evolve. It must. I agree with you that those who are domain name registrants in the current gTLDs have a stake in this evolution and should express a thoughtful and constructive opinion on how this evolution should take place. Unfortunately, some who have expressed opinions have chosen not to be either thoughtful or constructive. I think some operators have been reluctant to participate because of this. -- Stan | Academ Consulting Services |internet: sob () academ com Olan | For more info on academ, see this |uucp: {mcsun|amdahl}!academ!sob Barber | URL- http://www.academ.com/academ |Opinions expressed are only mine. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
