1) first-come first-served registration
Unfortunately, the concept is totally borked right here, mostly because of the use of DNS as a yellow-pages. Two companies that own trademarks in different fields of business both have to register under .COM (ok, so they *could* register under .US - hah), with the obvious outcomes we've known to love and enjoy (Anybody remember who the *original* owner of abc.com was?) There's no way you can pile 23 million (or however many it is now) things into one level of namespace and actually expect people to play nicely. -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
