Instead of multiple govs trying to use .gov or .mil, the best idea would be to collapse .gov under .gov.us and .mil under .mil.us (Much like how other countries already work).
And of course they'll also keep .GOV and .MIL because it's too much trouble to do whatever it'd take to actually decomission them so not much would be accomplished. I'm not opposed to the idea, sure, why not, but I'm pessimstic that it'd accomplish much in our lifetimes (depending on your age of course.)
I don't see that happening as long as the US gov has a say in the matter. I think .su will be decommissioned long before .gov or .mil are.
We agree. Never attribute to megalomania that which can be adequately explained by inertia. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
