>From the article:
"Since PGMedia filed its suit, however, the Internet landscape has
changed drastically, throwing a monkey wrench into an
already-complicated lawsuit. Last fall, the National Science
Foundation passed responsibility for the Internet to Commerce
Department, which in turn has laid out a plan to turn administration
to a private company and open up registration competition. By March,
five companies are slated to offer wholesale registration to addresses
ending in ".com," ".net," and ".org," and by June, the field is slated
to be opened to any accredited registrar."
My reply:
So what? Anybody can register names in com net and org now. New
registrars don't add new TLDs.
My further comment:
Where are all those "shared TLD" advocates from the gTLD-MoU days?
PGMedia is arguing for a completely open, shared namespace. Of course,
it wouldn't be under the control of POC, PAB, or CORE--or ICANN. I
guess that makes it kinda unattractive, eh?
