Two New TLD's Near Approval

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-waiting-for-dot-rob dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "The Associated Press is reporting that ICANN is nearing approval of two new top level domains: .travel and .post. The Universal Postal Union in Bern, Switzerland, wants ".post" for national postal services, local post offices, business partners and stamp collectors around the world. Private companies that provide postal services, such as Federal Express and UPS, also would be eligible. The Travel Partnership Corp., a New York-based trade group, seeks ".travel" for travel agents, airlines, bed and breakfast operators, tourism bureaus and others in the travel industry. ICANN is also considering eight other TLD's including .asia, .eu, and .jobs but they haven't progressed as far as .travel and .post. More information here."

    Some good ideas, there.

    Get an account, people rarely comment to the Anonymous Coward.

    I have an account, but I've found that some of the mods take offense to "constructive" observations about /. moderation. While my karma can probably stand the hit, better safe than sorry.
