Andy - Where is the celt.nz proposal. THERE is one I'll vote for.
If bank.nz passes, I'm happy to move forward with geek.nz! Though, I must say, who really cares. Who cares if there are 10, 100, or 10,000 second-tier domains under the .nz umbrella. It'd mean .. *gasp* that you couldn't use the DNS like a freaking phone book, but you can't do that anyway. It's impact on the databases, from a technical level, would be fairly minimal - you'd just be removing a hash level, and a very coarsely grained one at that. Does it really matter if another 10 2nd-tier names get added, regardless of if they are silly or sane? bank.nz, celt.nz, geek.nz, sco.nz, ico.nz, nodepressionin.nz, what does it matter? The DNS is _not_ a phone book. 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. JSR -- John S Russell | Big Geek | Fun will now commence.
