1.
these "new dots" are not new .. they (or ones like them) have been in negotiations for
a few years now and, frankly, they do not seem to be a whole lot closer to actually
being approved than they were then
2.
when these "new dots" first were announced many years ago, many registrars promoted
them and took pre-registrations .. the "new dots" still have not been approved and
some of them have slipped out of negotiation
3.
even if you do pre-register your domain, it does not mean that you will get it .. you
are depending on the company you register with to keep your pre-registration and to
submit it in a timely manner before someone else attempts to pre-register the same name
the irony is that, despite these facts, all of the pre-registrations which i have seen
were non-refundable
i admire opensrs for not getting involved in this scam despite the potential profit
-s.
