[comments-gtlds] "One new gTLD every week for the foreseeable future."

From:         "Michael Froomkin - U.Miami School of Law"
              <froomkin@LAW.MIAMI.EDU>

"I have from the start supported a simple plan that I believe would destroy
name speculation:  One new gTLD every week for the foreseeable future.
It's simple economics: increase supply, drop the price.  I look forward
to your endorsement of this proposal."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Michael,

Below are the DLDs with more than 1,000 registrants.
You might want to start at the top of the list and make
sure that each week you find people or companies
willing to help launch each one as a TLD. You can
easily check on the progress via the DNS (not whois**).

You can check on the following IS, RS, DS registrations
for each of the DLDs. These are the names we use to
derive the IPv8 Floating Root. It is unlikely that any person
or company will be able to capture all 8 names for all of
the DLDs. This will allow many people and companies to
participate on a level playing field. By checking the DNS
(not whois) via the following 8 names, we can deduce
where the consensus TLD name servers are located. No
centralized agency needs to do that any longer.

IS - ${DLD}-REGISTRY.com
IS - WWW-${DLD}.com
RS - REGISTER-${DLD}.com
RS - NIC-${DLD}.com
RS - ${DLD}-NIC.com
DS - ADDR-${DLD}.com
DS - IN-ADDR-${DLD}.com
DS - ${DLD}.com

** BTW, I have found that some attorneys think that "whois"
*IS* the DNS because they do not have access to the real
DNS data. Maybe the Floating Root based on .COM will
allow them to more easily track the progress.
