Re[2]: [wg-c] With apologies, Bill Semich's Position on New gTLDs

[Chris Burton <chris@fatlarry.karoo.co.uk>]

Hello Kent,

The public needs 'new gTLDs' for the simple fact that all the
.com/.net/.org/.co.uk etc domains will be gone soon and there will be
non left for 'the general' public to register

Personnaly i think more than 10 gTLDs should be introduced as a wise
man once said - 'you can't have to much of a good thing'

I think that other domains should also go on testing etc like a .uk on
its own(e.g. www.mydomain.uk).

Heres a question to all you out there do you think companys like http://www.nomination.net/
should be stoped from registering domains as they sell sub domains of
them and spoiling it for the rest of us, letme know what u think
