As for blocking 'bank.nz', the telcos and other businesses will agree to block this. As the Tui ad says....
Damn, I knew there was a problem with living in Aus. I'm missing out on good Tui advertising =)
I suggest people vote for this proposal. Why? Because every new second level domain makes it easier to get rid of the second level structure hence devaluing the very thing these wankers think is important.
Well I'd go another way. Vote NO for .bank.nz because it's pointless and stupid. But either put forward your own 2ld application (hmmmm maybe not so good as InternetNZ creams a grand if you do) or vote for one of the others (geek.nz or celt.nz). Having the banks one fail again and a geek or celt one get in HAS to be the ultimate slap in the face.
Dean asked where my proposal for 'celt.nz' is. How many people on this list can claim at least one great grandparent of Celtic origin? That includes Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Cornish, Isle of Man, Breton. So let's make a case for such a domain. It makes the same sort of sense as 'maori.nz' and a whole heap more sense than 'bank.nz'.
Got a draft proposal? Dean - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
