Hank, there's only one little problem - until the people at IANA (or this committee) realise I am arguing on behalf of many people, ISPs, organizatoins; and this has nothing to do with competition... until then, they'll listen to the current .bg TLDA. And you know what? They just don't realise the situation in Bulgaria; this is what you call a "cross cultural difference". regards, Veni Markovski, Chairmain, the Internet Society - Bulgaria, http://www.isoc.bg, http://www.bulgaria.com/isoc/, http://www.bol.bg/isoc/ phone: (+359-2) 9809666, phone/fax (+359-2) 9806431 mailing address: p.o.box 71, Sofia 1164, Bulgaria

If you feel the .bg ccTLD is not properly managed and that Jon is not responsive enough, soon will be an IANA-ng organization and you will be able to submit your request to a committee and it will be decided. Patience. If you are correct in your statements - then I am sure a panel of people will get to the truth. But alternate TLDs belong in their own sphere. There are the current gTLDs and there are the ccTLDs. Create an aTLD organization for alternate TLDs which can include alterNIC and network luminaries like Jim Fleming, Bob Allisat, etc.
