New ICANN TLDs Are Live

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the entering-a-new-era dept.

BenBenBen writes "According to this story on the BBC, several of the new ICANN top level domains now have sites available. Examples are visa.info and afilias.info. " I'm still waiting to get my 'dot' TLD. The article doesn't say much new except it tells us a few biz and info sites that you can use if you just wanna see a new TLD working. I gotta say, it's pretty surreal.

    Why don't you get a life, If all you can do is sit around, and watch the national news network's coverage of NYC, then you, out of the gene pool. It is time to move on, no time to be our hollow selfs and watch tv till our eyes fall out of their sockets.

    "On 16 August 2001 the W3C made public a proposal to substantially change their patent policy framework. Amongst the changes is support for a new licensing model (called RAND) that legitimises the W3C's role in developing and promoting standards that could require the payment of royalties."

    It is time for the site to move on, I intend to open it up for many contributors. I intend to get a few excellent orienteers and expeditionists to join me in making this site even better, and I intend to release it under the GNU Free Documentation License (but with some modifications to allow people to print and distribute printouts more easily).

    Have you considered using the Open Content License instead of hacking up Yet Another License (YAL)? Might be more along the lines of what you need...
