Reacting to new domains after the fact is often too late.
What happens when they're wrong? And who's 'they', btw? What qualifications must 'they' have? And what happens if a registrar disagrees with 'them'? Or when 'they' are instructed by their governments to objection to a domain because of its perceived lack of redeeming social value, or somesuch? It seems to me as if we've just talked through the institutionalization of the Department of Domain Pre-Crime, with all that entails. It could be argued that the proposed solution might be worse than the problem it's purporting to solve. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@cisco.com> // 408.527.6376 voice Words that come from a machine have no soul. -- Duong Van Ngo
