Re: [ICANN-EU] more questions: Future of the DNS?

ICANN will introduce some new TLDs very soon. We will see what happens. I doubt it 
works very well. I think we will need more and more new top-level domains.

My idea is:
- Introduce the new TLD
- Look what happens
- Analyze it and make it better

>- What do you expect from additional gTLDs?

There should be many. Not 5, not 10. Maybe 100 or thousands (or unlimited). The 
ICANN only make technical decision? Okay, do it 100% technically, make the name 
space unlimited. Introduce unlimited TLDs.

If the ICANN introduce only a few (<20) TLDs, it has to discuss it very well. Which 
TLDs are useful?

Good question. I have no ideas. I'm quite sure, that there will be new adressing 
technologies in the future. Maybe these technologies don't need an ICANN. Look at 
Freenet (http://freenet.sourceforge.net). ICANN is not the organisation which could 
develop new technologies, not now.
