Does anyone know how if the new gTLD system will still give some "veto" power to some people over some domain names that are morally objectable to some people ? I am not thinking of only .SEX but perhaps also .GOD .GAY .ALLAH .BI .CHRISTIAN .LESBIAN .MORMON .JEW .JEWISH .ISLAM etc.
.WOMEN-WITH-VISIBLE-FACES?
For instance, in the USA "ABC" is the american broadcasting companies, but in australia, it is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Is it fair to hand .ABC to either one of the two ? (highest bidder) or will ICANN "lock" .ABC out so that neither can get to it ? I am sure there are many such gTLDs around the world that would conflict across countries.
Sure, which is why that's not what should be being *done* with GTLDs. But engineering issues will be the very least of anyone's concern here. Cheers, -- jra -- ay R.
