Re: [wg-c] Choosing the intial testbed

["Christopher Ambler" <cambler@iodesign.com>]

Selecting names before selecting registries is putting the cart well before
the horse.

What if a name selected is .ATT?

What if AT&T wants to run .ATT but it's not selected?

What if the names selected are .u4x, .hhrhr, and .w83hjf?

The middle-road solution is to set down objective criteria that a registry
must meet (much like was done for registrars), and accept applications
based upon that criteria. Each application will also contain the single TLD
that the applying registry wishes to run, based on their business plan and
marketing data.
