Re: [wg-c] nsi proposes to create new gTLds

["Christopher Ambler" <cambler@iodesign.com>]

Correct on all points. Image Online Design has a registry that
is ready now, and has been for over 4 years.

NSI's proposal is simply their attempt to eliminate any real
competition for themselves.

Is it just me, or is it curious that it was written and ready to
go for today's meeting? Had the names council approved
6-10, the proposal would have been rather out-of-place.
But since they didn't, it fit right in.

Curious.
