  1. Re:From YOUCANN on ICANN to Incorporate TLDs Already In-use? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The root nameservers have no inherent authority. The nameserver administrators elsewhere give them that authority.

    shell:~$ host www.opennic.glue
    www.opennic.glue has address 131.161.247.68

    Oh, I guess .glue isn't a "REAL TLD" because you don't see it on your nameserver? Give me a break.

    Open your eyes, there is more than one namespace in the world. Just because you may be a loyal follower of ICANN doesn't mean that everyone else is.

    That plugin just tells that computer to resolve certain TLDs elsewhere.

    Sure, the domains for those "alternative" TLDs may be overpriced, but that's their choice if they want to buy them.

    ICANN introduced a colliding TLD of .biz, and if they want to do it again with .xxx, they can go ahead. I'm not going to honor it. OpenNIC recognizes Alternic as the maintainer of .xxx, and it'll remain that way on my nameserver until Alternic decides/acts otherwise.
