    Negotiations?
    by KarlAuerbach on Friday April 09 2004, @02:50PM (#13335)

    Why in the world should there be "negotiations" after a TLD is accepted?

    ICANN should be simply saying "OK, you pass the objective standards". (And those objective standards should truely be objective, and they should pertain to technical capabilities only.)

    Post selection negotions suggests that the obligations (and tolls) to be levied on the winner are yet to be established. That is wrong.

    There should be fixed obligations - much as there is for a driver's license - and nothing more.

    Tailor made contracts can be a way to disguise the imposition of additional requirements.

    Wow, I love the anonymous posts trying to badmouth the application just because I helped on it. I'm so glad to see that the ad hominem attack is still alive and well, and practiced by cowards who are afraid to own their words.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Re:The real .MAIL application ? from Mr. .WEB ?

    I'm sure that those .Web customers I've talked to are pleased that I am staying involved in the process and trying to help make it as streamlined and objective as possible.

    Or were you just looking for an argument, but too afraid to use your real name for the post?

    Re:eNOM and .WEB ?

    I doubt he wants to hide his affiliation with eNom and the .mail TLD, given that his name appears on the .mail TLD and given that he cites eNom on his resume over at resume.ambler.net.

    Regarding your assertion that Ambler recommend to eNom that they promote .web -- You do realize, of course, that it would be futile as the current round is for restricted, sponsored TLDs. .Web remains an un-restricted, un-sponsored gTLD and the round of applications in which it will participate has not yet commenced.

    This is all rather public information.
