Re: Is shared generally agreed, then?

: With all the talk about CORE, and how central registries and depositories

As presented in previous postings, from a business model perspective, the
shared model is deficient to the point of being a deal-breaker. The
exclusive license with automatic sublicenses to all CORE members is the
model that will work best for interests of the registry and the Internet
user

: What about the 60-day issue? Consensus for or against?

Totally against the 60 day wait. It's nothing more than a barrier favored
by those with trademark interests. Let those with trademark concerns avail
themselves of the full trademark protection as offered in courts of proper
jurisdiction. They have no more right to delay a registration than they
have the right to delay the local Bell company from listing a new business
telephone in their computer under a particular name.

the

: comment?

I favor approving ALL QUALIFIED applicants. If bugs need to be worked out,
issue a 90 day delayed start at random to those qualified applicants in
excess of the limit that should begin the pilot registries.

Sort of...

being

It would be nice to see a revision...
