Reply to: [1]Re: [DNS] Give Austalian Business a go Thank you for your message. I am on leave until 19 July 1999. Your message has been fowarded to my secretary, Robyn Keen who will take the appropriate action with it. Please call her on 9364 6300 if you want to give her any more information. -------------------------------------- Date: 6/7/1999 6:41 PM To: dns§waia.asn.au From: Ari No. What we have a problem about is the seemingly haphazard/biased way domain names are allocated. news.com.au, etrade.com.au, etc. all seem to be registered by certain organisations, but equally generic names blocked to others. In nothing I have said do I advocate open slather on domain names. Just an open clear system. Reserve all the generic names and keep them aside for "special use". Just let everyone know what they are. I do not advocate deregulation, but rather a clearer regulation of the current system. I have proposed an idea before that all such generic domain names be registered by the relevant DNS body and linked to an information site and the relevant pages of several search engines. Surely that would not stretch anyone's resources? Malcolm suggested a variation of this where specific index pages with links are created. This could work if an income stream is generated to support this project, but even if it were not feasible, simple links to search engines achieve most of the goals: - clarity in which generic domains are not registerable - safekeeping by a public body of these domains for some perceived future use - education of the public not to use the DNS as a search engine - minimal cost Enough from me on this issue. I think my point of view is clear. What else is a topic of conversation on this list?
