Hi everyone - I'd like to suggest that we end the DNS threads that have
cropped up on the NANOG list lately and return to our focus on operations
and engineering issues. There are a variety of DNS-specific mailing lists
where these discussions would be more appropriate and you'll find a list
here:

Thanks --Susan

Hi Susan

Thank you for that but the new.net issue has raised a lot of interest. The
reference you quoted shows

    domain-policy@internic.net
    Customer feedback for the InterNIC, used to identify Domain Registration
     Policy issues of concern to members of the Internet community. To
subscribe,
    send e-mail to LISTSERV@internic.net with the text 'subscribe domain-policy'
    (without the quotes).

In fact, the former DOMAIN-POLICY@LISTS.INTERNIC.NET
has now been changed to DOMAIN-POLICY@LISTS.NETSOL.COM

The most convenient URL is http://lists.netsol.com/archives/domain-policy.html

This shows the archives from which you can see the New.Net issue being debated.
For those interested in "alternative TLDs" you can also try http://www.tlda.org/

Best regards

The domain-policy list discussions almost entirely consist of
political rants. On the whole the participants have little or no
understanding of the operation of the Internet. They just want their
faction to gain control of as much as possible of it.

Nanog discussions recently have been specifically concerned with the
operational impact of new.net's offering of new top level domains
through browser plug-ins. These issues can't and won't be discussed
on lists like domain-policy. They can be and should be discussed by
the people running the Internet backbone; that means on this list.
