It refers to what is now called SLD Mail-Forwarding service." "if they choose the service, a SLD that is not delegated to them " "Furthermore is an unacceptable distortion of what was submitted and selected. The base for .name is that it has a 3LD.SLD.name structure, where the 3LD is delegated to the registrant (and therefore she is free to service it through the registrars and ISPs of her choice). This service is in fact moving the VERY CORE of that domain (email for personal use . . . !!!!!) to the SLD directly, and controlled (from service to traffic and content) by a single company. Isn't this a significant change????? Just have a look of the examples they were giving in their application:" "just as a "future development" the SLD email forwarding service" "To sum up, please consider carefully what is being proposed here: we create a new TLD under the concept that SLD will be "shared" among registrants and only 3LD will be delegated to them. In order to make sure this works, we say that SLD will be "reserved" by the Registry itself (so it can guarantee the sharing among registrants acting as a neutral party in order to manage a resource for the public trust)." etc. etc. etc. ------- When one talks about "production services", I assume they are at a minimum talking about IPv16-Compliant equipment.
