Greater stability? Current numbers stand at over 53 million users that can
see the names we are offering. Assuming ICANN were to release names
today, how would stability be aided by intentionally conflicting with names
New.net is offering?
In any case, ICANN isn't releasing new names anytime soon according to
recent reports. Karl Auerbach, one of the ICANN directors estimated it
will be at least a couple of years before new ICANN names are released.
Out of respect to the purpose of this list and the resources of Tucows
I'm not going to continue this discussion publicly.
If any of you have questions that don't involve demanding to know what
identifying birthmarks the folks that work at New.net have(that was a
joke) please feel free to send me email.
