Re: [ga] Re: anyone notice fallout from this?

[steinle@smartvia.de]

Until now I haven't contacted the RegistryPro (ICANN.PRO) people. I had to wait till the contracts were signed. O.K. now it would be time to do that...and I will do that the next weeks.
But I think RegistryPro would not be amused. :-) I doubt that they want to advertise another .pro. And they would have to explain why there is another .pro. This would be news for most of the Internet users that there are roots "beside" ICANN. I think they will decide not to open pandoras box.
But I think some "small but fine" registrars (with educated customers or customers who want to be educated) could be interested and could offer this as premium service (100% visibility and security).
If no one is interested and the Inclusive Roots would still support  name.spaces .pro instead of ICANNs .pro I would still get likely huge traffic, if it is true that 5-10% uses Inclusive Roots. Maybe I could support this assertion or not.

I know there are some registrar mailing lists...but don't know the URIs to join them to make a proposel.
Any advice?
