Icann is one of the most easily confounded groups in history. gTLDs will take upwards of 5-10 years to get off the ground. Hold onto those .orgs and .nets because they aren’t getting replaced anytime soon!

I agree, domainers have been fairly quiet on this matter – probably been too busy cover their own asses.

I am surprised more domainers aren’t talking about this in the forums. I think it’s a good thing if they stop this rollout – it’s a big issue. It’s also good for current domainers and their portfolios, because it keeps the supply of possible domains and extensions from growing too fast.

Me too, I think new gTlds according to their proposal would just throw everything into disarray.

I agree with ANA. Any changes to the gTLD will only confuse the marketplace and cause greater burden to company’s who are trying to already manage their branding. Thanks for posting this article as I had not heard the ANA was this aggressive in the matter.
