That being said, I am amused at the concept of all of (or most of) the major ISP's getting together and announcing that ISOCNZ is being too silly, and that they are collectively filtering out Domains That Suck.
What, exactly, would ICONZ do under those circumstances? My guess - lawsuits, and lots of 'em.
More to the point, assuming the 'bank.nz' proposal goes ahead, what would the banks do under those circumstances? See JSR's suggestion above. As for blocking 'bank.nz', the telcos and other businesses will agree to block this. As the Tui ad says.... 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. 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'. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
