Give New Zealand back "archie.nz" pleaseeeee..
Actually actually, why can't why have a simple .nz domain, comme les Suedois et al, who have .se minus all the silly cruft in front?
This issue has been debated a fair bit in the last month and once the SRS is in place, there is going to be a public consultation process next year on the issue. I think it is fair to say any deleting of the 2LD structure would cause some significant transition issues, to say the least. I would predict a few dozen lawsuits :-)
Oh, and how was it that 'co.nz' was deemed appropriate for commercial entities? I was under the distinct impression that a bad sense of Internet humour didn't exist in New Zealand until I moved here.
These decisions predate InternetNZ and I presume were made by John Houlker after consultation with others in the early or mid 90s. The decisions, as I understand it, was to mainly follow the .uk structure except we chose govt.nz instead of gov.nz.
