But that freedom has to occur within a framework of order. Even if that costs a lot of money? Even if we know that it won't work, because institutions and companies and individuals will have found there place in the domain world before ICANN is ready to introduce a new TLD? And who is going to organize this classification, and how? A few TLDs like .aero every year? Each with a few thousand registrants in it, who do not really use this new domain? You cannot set up a working order for the internet activities of people worldwide. But I think nobody believes in it, except you and Stuart Lynn. > >
