Re: Statements against new.net?

Hank,

We tell them to use the ORSC root as it is the most comprehensive one out there. Once the collisions from New.net have been ironed out, the non-colliding new TLDs will be put in the ORSC root if they are not already there.

FYI, there's an IETF draft on the guidelines for avoiding multiple-root collisions here:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-higgs-root-defs-00.txt

Feedback welcome.

Do any ISPs or web hosting companies have publically available statements on their web sites stating that they will not support the new new.net domains and why they won't? I am getting more requests from users to change our DNS root servers to support this and wanted to see what others tell their users. Any IETF/ICANN statement available?

Thanks,
Hank
Best Regards,

Simon
