Take a look at the last slide of the PowerPoint presentation athttp://www.gtldregistries.org/VeriSign_Global_Registry_Update.ppt Sorry it did not work for me? Chuck, I am sorry to say that negative spirits like some of us will think something like this: - VeriSign plans to spend M$ 20 a year during 10 years to develop their Galaxy. - why do they want to talk about this now? Would that mean there is an advantage to do it? - if there is an advantage it can only be to make that investment in a way the support of the iCANN will help VeriSign, right? - why would iCANN support help VeriSIgn unless that investment without the iCANN support will not please the community? My personal feeling is that the Galaxy you plan will use a super DNS system (in competition/replacement of the CRADA) with some non compatible value added, and that proposing the other TLDs to join will amount to tell the ISPs "favor the VeriDNSign" and the iCANN "look all the money we agreed to spend for you: please make sure new TLDs use VeriDNSign". As you may recall the iCANN wants to over centralize the DNS and kill the Inclusive roots against its bylaws. More and more abuse of dominant position in the offing. Against MS this was the Justice Department and some States. In this case it will be a few Govs. Where is the good for VeriSign, the iCANN and for us all? Let have the M$ on a reserved fund jointly managed by consensus. Jefsey Chuck
