Generally, how many new gTLDs do you think should be created?
1-10
C. CHOICE OF gTLDS
1. Review of IAHC-Suggested gTLDs
How would you rate each of the following gTLD names selected by the
IAHC?
a) .firm (intended for businesses, or firms), check one of the below:
strongly approve
Considering above, would you still prefer to have legal term gTLDs?
no.
b) .store (for businesses offering goods to purchase), check one of the
below:
approve
Do you think .store should be replaced by .shop?
no
c) .web (for entities emphasizing activities related to the World Wide
Web),
check one of the below:
no opinion
d) .arts (for entities emphasizing cultural and entertainment
activities), check
one of the below:
no opinion
e) .rec (for entities emphasizing recreation/entertainment activities),
check one
of the below:
strongly approve
f) .info (for entities providing information services), check one of the
below:
approve
g) .nom (for those wishing individual or personal nomenclature, i.e., a
personal
nom de plume), check one of the below:
strongly approve
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? no
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 disapprove
If you strongly approve or approve, do you think this should be the gTLD
.xxx?
no
If you have replied "no", what gTLD would you suggest in place of .xxx
in this
category? .sex
