No but almost every company in any developed country could, down to and including a mom and pop corner store, and since THATS MY FUCKING CONCERN, companys misuse of owned TLDs seems a little likely don't it? Dumbass.

SRSLY? Why? And I better get tms.tms.

Anti-Basic · 06-28-2008, 03:29 PM

chewbacca.tms

Anti-Basic · 06-28-2008, 03:33 PM

tbh, another (much less serious) downside of this is that it will take all the fun and challenge out of all the clever domain hacks.

I think ICANN is directly responsible for .gov and .edu so they verify any and all domains under those TLD's before allowing registration. Of course though, someone could probably register for the new TLD of .government or some variation.

Fact: Most sites with .fact will not hold real facts.

None of them are run by ICANN, ICANN doesn't really run anything they just make decisions regarding them, .gov is owned by General Services Administration (US only) and .edu is owned by educause, which is a non profit (can't be bought out) so neither of those are (probably) going anywhere. But ICANN just approves TLDs, it doesnt own or run any of them (aside from .test and such)

.government and .education and .organization will all be up for grabs though, and while a few legitimate parties that fit those descriptions might use them, if a commercial organization runs the registry and decides not to make any rules regarding them, they will be open season. (technically .org already is though)

Thats my point though, domains under the .gov TLD are controlled but if someone registers a similar TLD like .gòv there is nothing little preventing somebody from registering cia.gòv or irs.gòv

The majority of internet users can't distinguish between real websites and websites that are just holding place on a domain
IE
http://mcrosoft.com/
http://microsoft.com/

How can we expect them to notice the difference between an o or an o with a tilde (ò) or even omicron (о)

.gov
.gòv
.gоv

Admin God · 06-30-2008, 09:17 PM

Good point. Forgot about them now allowing other characters.

I don't think they would begin allowing those characters, especially since adding the new characters would break a lot of already created protocols based on DNS. But you'd be damn right that it would cause quite a bit of chaos if they did.

Anti-Basic · 07-01-2008, 09:30 AM

I think they're only allowing east asian characters.
