At a bof several months ago Bill Manning asked the audiance if they knew
what a TLD was, 3 of about 70 did. The croud was composed of some of
Silicon Valley's best SysAdmins, ISP opperatort et. al. The issues
about new iTLDs are not well published and I would say only a very few
people knew about submiting an appl to IANA.

I can't comprehend that this issue is not more publicised but it has not been,
it is discussed only on a few lists and by a very small number of people.

I would expect that *MANY* organizations apply to run a iTLD
once an acceptable procedure of applying to run a TLD is established.

IMHO, just sining ".WEB is mine" to the chior, doesnt make your song
a top 40 hit. Alot of other folks are going to have to buy it too.
