It is stupid and irresponsible to setup a new DNS root. End of story, read 2826.
Is this some scripture to quote? :-)
And.. if you let new.net do it then every other capitalist in the world will start doing it and then the Internet will become disfunctional, and what will that achieve?
I think that you would find that capitalists tend towards effective market solutions(that is in fact why most of them are capitalists.)
Stick to the single root, stand firm on this policy and new.net wont get far!
Suddenly, I feel like I should be grabbing your hand and engaging in a rousing rendition of "Kumbayah my lord." Rather you or myself like it or not, given the existence of a player that has the capital to make this idea go, the market now has an opportunity to decide for itself. Perhaps next you might wish to stamp your feet and threaten to hold your breath until they go away?
