Sure, I agree with the principal of the idea. Decentralization is always a great thing and having a few gatekeepers for the popular TLDs is not ideal. In reality though I am not sure how this would work from a DNS perspective. If anyone can define a TLD, you would need mappings of those at a DNS root level. This is a pretty high burden on the root resolvers. You would almost need to decentralize the root functionality of DNS. This would pretty much take a rewrite of how DNS clients function as root resolvers are normally hard coded in. Anyone have thoughts?
