# @ Who will develop this list? # # Maybe the ISP/C could take this on as a project # and keep a running list on their web site. As we have said numerous times, the ISP/C does not currently and will not in the foreseeable future have the resources to run any TLD functions, period. This includes the Fleming model (s0.g0), eDNS, IAHC, name.Space, etcetera. While it may be said that there are directors on the Board who would like to see this as a viable option, those directors may be leaving in the coming term.
