Anyone think it's a coincidence that ICANN does this just after plans are announced by major browsers to eliminate the URL address bar? Are they rushing to sell-off?
Also, what about the possibility of disputes? What if both Facebook and twitter want to purchase '.social'? Who will resolve the dispute and on what grounds?
- Sayter 15y agoThe meeting in question was for final approval; ICANN approved plans for opening up gTLD's back in 2008. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/26/icann_approves_customized_top_level_domains/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/26/icann_approves_custo... This didn't suddenly happen overnight; everyone was informed three years in advance. Just to illustrate how long ago that was in internet years: the first Windows public beta of Google Chrome wasn't even released until after ICANN's initial announcement.
