Apparently a misunderstanding. I meant work in the sense of Hank's message, e.g. raising awareness that this is wubbish. At 09:44 AM 13.3.01, Mally Mclane wrote:

Do any ISPs or web hosting companies have publically available statements on their web sites stating that they will not support the new new.net domains and why they won't? I am getting more requests from users to change our DNS root servers to support this and wanted to see what others tell their users. Any IETF/ICANN statement available?
Speaking from my experience, the new.net idea has been rubbished both on uknot (a list which consists of a lot of the UK Internet Industry movers'n'shakers) and ecdiscuss, it's also been rubbished a lot in the press.
I wouldn't advise anyone to start reconfiguring their nameservers. Just be patient and wait for ICANN ;)
