[wg-c] Specific TLD Proposals

["Martin B. Schwimmer" <martys@interport.net>]

OK, I'm tired of seeing my name on the heading.

Patient reply to question below: because in an experiment I believe that
not all three letter TLDs will have the same effect and the effects of some
I believe could be so detrimental as to outweigh the benefits of the
experiment.

Some (.cpa, .esq, .sex, .xxx, .ltd. .isp) can be deployed in ways which
expand the name space in a way which will not likely create the dead weight
loss of piracy and can likely alleviate consumer confusion while some
(.web, biz) would likely create more collisions and irreperable harm to an
identified group of entities.

Some (.red, .123, .sky) - who knows - let's experiment.

We're not going to change each other's mind by the way, we've been talking
about this for a long time.
