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 X_] [approve __] [no opinion __] [disapprove __]
[strongly disapprove __]
If you disapprove or strongly disapprove, what gTLD would you suggest in
place of .firm in
this category? ______
Considering above, would you still prefer to have legal term gTLDs?
[yes__] [noX_].
If so, which ones (in order of preference)? _____________________
b) .store (for businesses offering goods to purchase), check one of the
below:
[strongly approve X_] [approve __] [no opinion __] [disapprove __]
[strongly disapprove __]
If you disapprove or strongly disapprove, what gTLD would you suggest in
place of .store in
this category? ______
Special note: There have been many suggestions that .store be replaced
by .shop which has significance in
multiple languages and, unlike .store, has related verb and noun
meanings. Do you think .store should be replaced by .shop? [yes__]
[noX_]
c) .web (for entities emphasizing activities related to the World Wide
Web), check one of the below:
[strongly approve X_] [approve __] [no opinion __] [disapprove __]
[strongly disapprove __]
If you disapprove or strongly disapprove, what gTLD would you suggest in
place of .web in
this category? ______
d) .arts (for entities emphasizing cultural and entertainment
activities), check one of the below:
[strongly approve X_] [approve __] [no opinion __] [disapprove __]
[strongly disapprove __]
If you disapprove or strongly disapprove, what gTLD would you suggest in
place of .arts in
this category? ______
e) .rec (for entities emphasizing recreation/entertainment activities),
check one of the below:

place of .rec in
this category? ______
f) .info (for entities providing information services), check one of the
below:

[strongly disapprove X_]
If you disapprove or strongly disapprove, what gTLD would you suggest in
place of .info in
this category? _None, this would be to ambiguous. All sites provide
information. Perhaps a lower level domain_
g) .nom (for those wishing individual or personal nomenclature, i.e., a
personal nom de plume), check one of the below:
[strongly approve X_] [approve __] [no opinion __] [disapprove __]
[strongly disapprove __]
If you disapprove or strongly disapprove, what gTLD would you suggest in
place of .nom in
this category? ______
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?
[yesX_] [no__]
2. Creation of gTLD Indicating Adult-Oriented Content
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? [yesX_] [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.
_I believe all of these gTLDs would be a significant aid in catagorizing
the material on the web for both searching and sensoring purposes. I
would suggest that this system be non-compulsury for both legal and
monitoring purposes. Another gTLD could be provided that is for those
who wish to not be catagorized. I feel that most would wish to
volunteer for this.
