Re: [wg-c] new TLDs

[Eric Brunner <brunner@world.std.com>]

Curious notion, that institutions which are primarily organized around
the production of finance capital, are subject to an enduringly, even
momentarily useful characterization, or even taxonomy of variation,
which is static, and as an additional feature, is both casually amenable
into a typical DNS label, and which already clearly exists as a nacent
cTLD in the namespace, and in a particular language.

The irony is that there are quite a few potential sponsors for TLDs with
charters which somehow reflect aspects of the financial services sets of
sectorial, regional, national, even smaller service and jurisdictions. A
program of finding one, other than a first-of-several, is a curious choice
of goals to promote.

It would appear that someone is posing a non-tractible problem, when some
partial solution is not quite as difficult to obtain.

However, if all the B campers want to follow Milt down that track, joining
the C campers in their manifestly difficult preconditions, that's not of
enduring interest. I don't think it is the wisest course of action for one
or the other of the creative obstructionists, but milage varries.

Now for some words:

	montebank - practitioners of IT as an academic discipline
	snowbank - a heat differential storage device
	sandbank - a microlithic storage device
	riverbank - a riparian storage device
	cutbank - a town adjacent to the Amskaapipiikanai Reservation
	banknote - e-mail over e-money
	grandbanks - a multi-modal fish storage device, currently depleated
	bankhead - a descendant of an entertainer
	bankweed - natural self-manifesting financial "interest"

Seasons Greetings,
