Announcing my new conference. Dr. Baptista's fireside chats with the extraterrestrials or howto setup your own tld and bypass ICANN Over the last few days - and as a result of a discussion on opensrs concerning the recent addition to tld space - dot.GOD - I have been approached by many people on howto setup your own tld. I have decided to hold classes concerning this topic. The lesson plan will be general in nature and will include setting up basic registry operations as well as dns politics. I personally feel that people exist out there who can run tld's - it's about time they joined the party. So if you too are interested in setting up your own tld, give me a dingle and i'll put you on our class list. I should point out that this is not a free for all discussion list. I will be the only one in charge. You will not see the class communications to myself - but you will see my replies to the individual class members. From time to time a I may reply using realaudio - when I don't feel like typing. This list will have only one purpose - to educate tld registrars and increase the number of tlds in the namespace pool. An educated person is my biggest weapon against ICANN. regards Joe Baptista dot.GOD Hostmaster +1 (805) 753-8697
