The statement above, "Since the goal should be that anyone can point to any
root and not have to wonder which version of a domain they will see", got me
wondering...

Can anyone name a site, a site of substance, better yet a public company,
that currently operates their main business or provides their main content
utilizing (advertising, promoting, etc.) a domain name in either .biz or
.web, and *not* the .biz or .web alternative root registry itself, that will
be irreparably harmed if the alternative root .biz or .web TLDs never make
it into the ICANN root?  I'm just wondering if there's anything of substance
happening over there in alternative root country.  Perhaps it's time to take
a look?

Regards,

Jeff
