It might be interesting to see what's in the works (i.e. to see such announcements well before they're committed to operational status) for top-level domains in particular (since screw ups at this level affect many domains). However I doubt this forum is the best for such posts. Though this analogy probably breaks down as soon as you look at it, I'd suggest that such posts are more akin to the old *.news.stats postings and perhaps a separate forum specifically for such announcements would be better. A central repository of such announcements would be nice too, but it's hard to beat the ability of a widely read list like this one to disseminate information in such a way that it's got some chance to be closest to those who might need it, and perhaps to even reach their attention before they even know they need it. > then again, i am repeatedly told by my > european, alyc, african, ap, ... friends that the whole domain name noise > is an american problem/disease and we should shut up and use the US tld. Count at least some of us Canadians in on that side of the fence too! ;-) Down with .COM! :-) (not that .ca isn't going to be just as rabid as .com soon.... the people that decided that subdomain registration policies need to be geared primarily towards selling the most possible domains within a given jurisdiction are really getting a little too carried away with the wrong kind of business model!) > interesting that nsi could be on the grab for that one too. hmmm.... -- Greg A.
