Except to note that it's not necessary and in fact simply causes confusion. For example, if you wanted to contact Paradise (the ISP) would you choose paradise.co.nz or paradise.net.nz? Now make the choice as a naive user.
Of course if they pick www.paradise.gen.nz then they might really have a problem.
With the benefit of hindsight I'd advocate that it's all a crock and a single domain, .nz is all we need.
It does have the advantage in letting "clashing" names have an alternative. This is especially good since if your name is Mcdonald or Harrods then if you take a .gen.nz or .org.nz domain then it is automaticly assumed to be personal rather than taking a shot at the big boys. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz System/Network Admin. | | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz Ihug Limited, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
