Re: [wg-c] Re: nine principles for domain names

["Philip Sheppard" <philip.sheppard@aim.be>]

The tired set of domain names .firm   .shop   .web   .arts   .rec   .info
.nom might indeed make an interesting test-bed for the principles. However,
we envisage a system whereby the applicant registry proposes a gTLD and
explains what they envisage for that gTLD. The registry describes the market
they seek to attract. They describe the value added they are proposing for
the DNS. Such description should be concise and unburdensome for the
registry.

It would also be practical for the applicant registry to demonstrate how its
putative gTLD complies with the principles. The principles are not designed
to test a name per se.
