Kent, It is unfortunate that you refuse to discuss the issues rationally and calmly and instead choose to engage in ad homeim attacks. I can only hope that over time the folly of such an attitude will become apparent to you if you desire that people pay attention to what you say and take you seriously. ------------------------------------------ Patrick, It might be better to engage people from across the industry in discussions about DUAL Registry TLDs. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg12574.html RFC-2001-07-01-000 IPv8 Expansion of Proof of Concept TLD Development The ICANN people may not be the best people to debate, because they seem to be wrapped up with raffles, lotteries, and other diversions. Making new TLDs work does not seem to be their priority. Despite that, I am confident .BIZ will continue to make progress as a DUAL Registry, with IPv16 servers by 2002. In my opinion, it would be nice if people reached a consensus on whether .SHOP will be a DUAL Registry. It seems to me that a DUAL Registry makes a TLD more desirable because it is backed by more than one company at the Registry level. Redundancy with computers is good, it provides stability.
