Re: [TLDA-Members] Fwd: BulkRegister partners with New.Net (fwd)

[Doug Braun at Emerge2]

This attempt to create a separate "add-on" TLD/root space that only a very small percentage of internet users can even access (and only if they or their ISP did something special to access it) by an unofficial private group has been discussed many times on this list. Here is a sample of some of the reasons why this is a bad idea, as previously stated on this list (from the list archives):

Since this is the second dismissal I see here, I think I may ask:

Why not?
