Hmmm. As far as I can tell, there is only one web site that is
taking all of the traffic, and it is at ICANN's site (192.0.34.18).
The secure mode pages require https support, which isn't available
in lynx (as far as I know). There is a community of disabled people
that use lynx that this potentially affects.
The proposed study for new registrations should take this into account,
in my opinion. Some other topics for consideration include multiple
servers, support for more languages, and email submission.
