Robin and all,
Robin, yes I am with you I think. But please understand, that I am not
against what you purport to be about in general terms. I do see
a huge potential problem to which william eluded to. Politically
speaking I believe at this juncture that a huge number of gTLD's
is not likely and is going to meet with allot of opposition from any
number of groups at some juncture. When? I don't really know.
On the financial front from a business development and marketing
point of view, what you are proposing or working towards is a grass
roots approach, that has a very small chance of long term survival
without a substantial amount of funding per gTLD.... Do you have that
funding, a funding model, a business plan for each gTLD? Do you have a
method technically of making any of all of the Domains registered within
those gTLD name spaces, easily visible to everyone on the internet
without any modifications to their dialer, or otherwise?
