One thing to look out for are people that want to add new TLDs. Whatever systems you decide upon should be inclusive and should welcome people. Hopefully, some of the neighbor net approaches will help to do this. A quick check of the list shows that your TLD (.WINE) is located between Denmark (.DK) and Morocco (.MA). You might want to focus on those two TLDs to create your "neighborhood". http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/130dftmail/unir.txt 3:210 DK (DENMARK) <--- ??? 3:211 MLT (MALTA) 3:212 VIDEO 3:213 WINE <------------------Jean-Christophe Praud 3:214 RAILWAY 3:215 BALLOON 3:216 SVK (SLOVAKIA-(Slovak-Republic)) 3:217 DNK (DENMARK) 3:218 GRC (GREECE) 3:219 INFO <---- Simon Higgs ? 3:220 PUNK <----------------- ISP/C Member ??? 3:221 SVN (SLOVENIA) 3:222 FLAT 3:223 STOCKHOLM 3:224 MA (MOROCCO) <---- ??? If you find that the names in your neighbor-net are not in use then they can be relabeled with new TLDs. You might want to label the entries that you know are available with a TXT record of "ALIAS:" in the DNS entries to show there is no label assigned. There once was an ISP/C board member that expressed an interest in .PUNK. His name was Chris ?. I think he changed his name and I lost track of him. Charles Smith might be able to help you locate him. As for some of the other TLDs in the neighbor net above, you might want to check with Simon Higgs on .INFO, that may be one he has running. Good luck to everyone in G3. Keep us posted with changes and as soon as your G3 TLD name servers are up we can query them to get the latest who's who in G3 info.
