Re: .name Feedback

[openlists]

I agree with all the fellows in the list. .pro and .name, both are craps because they are third level domains with awful lots of restrictions. They are offering email forwarding. This is like fishing in our turf at our cost. No reseller can promote or suggest them to anyone.   We have been through defensive registrations crap in biz etc. We now know how bad this is.   But, still we should offer them. Our job is to offer choices to our customer. whether they would like to buy or not is best left to them.   These are global gTLD's. They may not be attractive, but they are a fact of life (internet :-)   Ashish ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Baraniuk To: Discuss-List@Opensrs.
