With all respect for you, Veni, you do not have to find an alternative - you have to defend your viewpoint. I'd advise you to forward all correspondence between you and Dr. Postel to this list for public consideration; afterwards, if you believe you're right, file wrongful conduct action against BG NIC in your country and make Internet community in Bulgaria aware of the situation: if your rights, or rights of public are not honored, it is your and

responsibility to defend and enforce them. Internet isn't a monarchy and Dr. Postel isn't a king.

I agree and would further suggest that this be handled in the G3 region as much as possible with the help of the "neighbor net" community for the .BG TLD. In a growing Internet, Jon Postel or a small IANA staff will not be able to sort out all of the local issues. People in the "region" can help with that. That is one of the merits of socializing these discussions. Does anyone have the current "neighbor net" for the .BG TLD which I assume is in G3 ?
