Basically Neulevel is admiting its "lottery" plan was not very well
thought out and is going to change its policy on those names, and run
a new selection mechanism for the names in question in February.
(this is not news to us on this list, thanks tou updates from Tucows
already, but some may find the story of interest anyway).
What I am most pleased to see is Neulevel's Jeffrey Neuman say the
following:
NeuLevel's Neuman said if he could do it all over again, he would set
up a much simpler registration scheme, even if it resulted in a flood
of applications
``Because there's so many creative solutions, those solutions become
part of the problem. And the best way, the tested way, would be
first-come, first-serve, that's what people are used to,'' Neuman
said.
Finally someone realizes that first come first served IS the most fair
manner for domain registrants. End of story. Maybe we can eliminate
any "sunrise" or "landrush" registration schemes in future tld roll
outs now.
