UKNM: RE: some of ThinkNatural domains...

[Steve Miller]

Yes, I know this is a cop-out. Whilst I can usually spout on about Domain

Names 'till the cows come home, I think that a discussion about the proposed

new gTLDs is a bit premature. The 'Industry' is still trying to sort out

control of the more popular gTLDs (.com, .net and .org) with our friends and

colleagues at Networks Solutions. Only when this is finally sorted, which

could take months of further negotiations by the various parties concerned,

will ICANN even start to consider bringing out new gTLDs. There is no

definitive plan on how and when these names will rolled out. There is no

decision on even which names will be available, there is not even any

definite plans on who is going to be able sell them. Whilst I certainly take

on board the comments made by Mark H-T, in my view the best bet is to sit

tight and wait to see what occurs. But you can be pretty damn sure that as

we get closer to roll-out, you'll be bombarded with information and advice

from the likes of NetNames.


Cheers,


Steve
