http://www.wwtld.org/~shanghai/cc-IANA.html Project to Define a cc-IANA ====

"Critically, the success of this project will be measured by the number of “substantial” ccTLDs" ...

"The US Department of Commerce, from its side, needs to have these same assurances and the firm acceptance of the other respective governments that they should accept these entries as authoritative."

Will this be capped at 16 ?...if the total TLDs allowed are 64 ?...25% to the so-called ccTLDs ?

25% to gTLDs

25% to sTLDs (Staff "sponsored" TLDs)

25% to iTLDs (I* society)

Note.....

OZ came from the old style two-drawer file cabinets with the "top" being A-M and the "bottom" being O-Z

If the "top" is going to be A-M, then the "bottom" will be N-Z, as in NZ.

So, we have TLDs and BLDs, Top Level Domains and Bottom Level Domains.

Correction....OZ came from the old style two-drawer file cabinets with the "top" being A-N and the "bottom" being O-Z I know .AN wants to be the "top" and .OZ wants to be the "bottom". http://www.iana.org/root-whois/an.htm Will that be decided in Amsterdam ? AN and OZ or AM and NZ
