A different one did. > In my opinion, there is only one .BIZ Name Space. The .BIZ Name Space is made up of all owners of SLD.BIZ names. Are you implying that there is a separate .BIZ Name Space ? If so, how would the DNS servers distinguish between those separate spaces ? Getting more detailed, there may be several IPv4 Proof-of-Concept . BIZ TLD servers. (Those are not root servers BTW) As long as the owner of an SLD.BIZ name has their nameservers entered into the .BIZ TLD servers, then they have the SLD.BIZ name. It appears to be a good attribute to have a DUAL Registry for .BIZ. That is more reliable and redundant. The Name Space is still the same. If people choose to only register with one of the .BIZ registries, then that may be risky and it seems like a small price to pay to have a DUAL Registration. .BIZ is for business. Is an extra $6 worth the risk ? Beyond all this "toy" IPv4 Proof-of-Concept "educational" "test-bed" .BIZ TLD development, the .BIZ owners need to consider how they want to structure their Next Generation Internet infrastructure. Until there are a large number of .BIZ owners, it is hard to focus resources on that. This is the chicken and egg problem that the IPv4 Proof-of-Concept approach solves. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg12574.html RFC-2001-07-01-000 IPv8 Expansion of Proof of Concept TLD Development In summary, the .BIZ Name Space will grow and move forward. .BIZ was one of the first TLDs proposed for the expansion beyind .COM many years ago. Many people and companies have contributed to the growth of .BIZ, and will continue to contribute to that growth. If people think that one company "owns" .BIZ, I think they are in for a surprise. Jim Fleming Why gamble with a .BIZ Lottery?, get the real .BIZ http://www.DOT-BIZ.com http://www.BIZ.Registry 0:212 - BIZ World
