yourself said anything about *intentionally* causing a namespace
collision? What if, unknowingly a conflict was created, and both parties
felt that they were really the "owner" of a TLD?
sort to like you Patrick. I KNOW who owns .com, .net, and .org, that is
NSI! Duhhh! In any event any of the TLD's that I am running right
now belong to us and we KNOW that any other registries considering adding
TLD's to any root structure should first do some checking before running
any TLD's. Same should go for any DNSO, or ICANN. For instance,
IOD is running .WEB and Iperdom is running .PER, we all know this,
any other future registry, whomever might approve that registry, that intends
to run a registry for either of those two TLD's, need to work that out
with Iperdome and IOD before doing so.
Dam Patrick, get a clue! This depends on who is first!!!Second there is the issue of a TLD being resolveable by some and not by
others. I would consider a TLD that is recognized by 25% of nameservers on
the planet to be a destabilizing force.

that ability?

Glad you agree.

unintentional, but the operator of the registries would be unlikely to
give up their claim? Even if it is intentional, without an organization
that is "authoratative" for the assignation of TLDs, company A's claim is
most likely no more valid then company B's claim./\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
