Hmmm. Jim Dixon says not to create any more gTLDs and you are in

I didn't say that. I said that the existing gTLDs were created without giving much consideration to the existence of a world outside the USA. That was an understandable error; no one expected the Internet to become huge and important. But the proposal is to add new gTLDs without taking any realistic steps to deal with the fact that the gTLDs are international in scope. PAB/POC/CORE (why can't anyone give this thing a name??) are perhaps solving a US problem, but their solution doesn't deal reasonably with the international ramifications of their solution.

So what would you recommend be done in this matter?

What is in everyone's interest is slow, careful changes to the DNS.

Which is what POC/PAB is trying to do. Hank -------- Logged at Mon Sep 22 14:48:52 MET DST 1997 ---------
