(Never meta question I didn't like)
1) Where is the community consensus that the GAC should be a part of all this?
2) Why is working group C asked to decide "how many tlds and what names" ?
That sounds like a loaded question just waiting for the answer to be read
from the IAHC script.
Shouldn't the question be "by what process or terms should new tld registries
be accepted into the legacy root"?
Isn't that what we're really trying to find out here?
Does anybody really believe that working group C is so cleevr thay can fortell
what 6-10 names are going to be the end-all be-all to expansion of the dns
namwespace?
For reference, here are the top names poeple have chosen on the right
hand side of a hyphen in a .com name. Surely this is some indication
of what poeple want, as opposed to what some committe of people with
vested interests think is right.
Notes:
1) List truncated to names with 1000 or more names in that taxa.
2) List generated from an 11 million name .com zone, a bit over a
month old. List will be regenerated from a 12 million name .com zone
when it gets there next week or so.
