Special note 1: Since this gTLD is for individuals and registrations
could number in the millions, if not hundreds of millions, there is
naturally concern about the
scaleability of a personal name space gTLD. There have been suggestions
that in order to improve the scaleability of the .nom name space, a
numerical identifier
should be added to the .nom gTLD from the outset (e.g, .nom1, .nom2,
.nom3, etc.) Do you agree? [yes__] [no_X_]
Special note 2: There are often suggestions that names like .id, .me,
ind, or .per should be used as a "personal" gTLD. Please note the
following reasons for
rejecting these names:
TLD
Reason for Rejection
.id
.id is already allocated as the ISO 3166 two-letter country
code for Indonesia
all two-letter top level domain are reserved for future ISO
3166 country-code allocations
.me
all two-letter top level domain codes are reserved for
future ISO 3166 country-code allocations
.ind
.ind is the three-letter ISO 3166 country code for India,
we considered it prudent to hold this code in reserve
.per
.per is the three-letter ISO 3166 country code for Peru, we
considered it prudent to hold this code in reserve
2. Creation of gTLD Indicating Adult-Oriented Content
There is often the suggestion made that a dedicated gTLD indicating the
equivalent to a "red-light-zone" would be useful in isolating and
filtering adult-oriented
content from minors on the Internet. There are differing opinions on how
effective this would be. The most common suggestion is the request to
create a gTLD
.xxx. Do you think that a sort of "red-light-zone" gTLD should be
created?
[strongly approve _X_] [approve __] [no opinion __] [disapprove __]
[strongly disapprove __]
If you strongly approve or approve, do you think this should be the gTLD
.xxx? [yes_X_] [no__].
If you have replied "no", what gTLD would you suggest in place of .xxx
in this category? ______
3. Other Suggestions
Please make any other suggestion concerning the names of the new gTLDs
not covered above.
_a deeper classification for educational systems - all schools are .edu
but no distinction between primary grades or grad school
