Most Recent Entries Thursday, August 18, 2005 Apple Computer goes .U S Looks like Apple Computer is test driving the .U S with its latest site at Automator.US and what better way to target the largest market in the world the US. All country codes taken as a group account for 35% of all registrations thats a huge number where once the king .com commanded over 70% is now only 46% of total registrations worldwide . Not that 46% of the market of total registrations is anything to sneeze at but it does show countries rather have there own country code over .com and that folks are starting to get used to typing something else besides .com. More and more companies like Apple are setting up shop in .US extension everyday,it gives companies a US presence and instant credibilty.So the next time your shopping for names or sites its www.US posted by zouzas on Thursday, August 18, 2005 Monday, August 15, 2005 X X X Not So Fast Here's the most recent wrench in the launch of new tld .XXX ,, From: Mohd Sharil Tarmizi To: ICANN Board of Directors Cc: Government Advisory Committee Subject: Concerns about contract for approval of new top level domain Date: Friday, August 12, 2005 Dear Colleagues, As you know, the Board is scheduled to consider approval of a contract for a new top level domain intended to be used for adult content. I am omitting the specific TLD here because experience shows that some email systems filter out anything containing the three letters associated with the TLD. You may recall that during the session between the GAC and the Board in Luxembourg that some countries had expressed strong positions to the Board on this issue. In other GAC sessions, a number of other governments also expressed some concern with the potential introduction of this TLD. The views are diverse and wide ranging. Although not necessarily well articulated in Luxembourg; as Chairman, I believe there remains a strong sense of discomfort in the GAC about the TLD, notwithstanding the explanations to date. I have been approached by some of these governments and I have advised them that apart from the advice given in relation to the creation of new gTLDs in the Luxembourg Communique that implicitly refers to the proposed TLD, sovereign governments are also free to write directly to ICANN about their specific concerns. In this regard, I would like to bring to the Board's attention the possibility that several governments will choose to take this course of action. I would like to request that in any further debate that we may have with regard to this TLD that we keep this background in mind. Based on the foregoing, I believe the Board should allow time for additional governmental and public policy concerns to be expressed before reaching a final decision on this TLD. Thanks and best regards, Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi Chairman, GAC ICANN posted by zouzas on Monday, August 15, 2005
