Re: ICANN and Trademark Maximalism (Again)
by Anonymous
The new DNS software automates the IANA task of selecting the Top Level Domains. There are now 4096 slots for Top Level Domains. Everything is automatically built from the .COM namespace. Humans (and lawyers) are not required to meddle with the free marketplace. The new .COM servers are FREE. The old legacy .COM servers will eventually be turned off. Verisign will not be paid and therefore ICANN will not be paid. Neither are needed to operate the .NET. The names from .ORG, .NET, .BIZ, and the 2-letter TLD spaces can all be migrated for FREE to the new .COM servers. The ISOC will no longer be funded by the .ORG cash.cow. Various companies and domain sharks will be assisting existing domain name owners in the move to the new (FREE) DNS. Their services may not be FREE. Has ICANN ever done anything for FREE ?
