having written the technical portion of winning proposal to ntia for the .us zone, i differ. as i recall, having done the research, in the year prior to the ntia's tender some six people held some 40% of the major metro area subordinate namespaces. to my chagrin, relieved by a notice of termination days before my stock in the company vested, the winner adopted a "orange-black" model, deprecating the namespace's existing hierarchical registration model for a flat registration model. the registration process model for .us is dissimilar to the registration process models of .edu, .mil and .gov, as are the contractors to the government. -e On 10/20/14 3:26 PM, Doug Barton wrote:
Obviously no serious consideration was given to that plan 10 years ago, or we wouldn't still be having the conversation today.
