Interesting. I see what you mean. Limiting it to .gov domains would make this hard to do but that cat is out of the bag and, in practice, we're better served with an open bidding process.
However, I did find it painful just now to find who etimspayments.com is since they're using domain privacy even though they are the SF provider https://wmq.etimspayments.com/pbw/include/sanfrancisco/input.jsp https://wmq.etimspayments.com/pbw/include/sanfrancisco/input...
I was just talking to a friend and he put in a CPRA request to find out which LLC provides that service so we'll know soon enough.
- runsfromfire 3y agoWould having an open bidding process preclude the use of .gov TLD? Why couldn’t the highest bidder handle the payment and processing at e.g. tolls.gov?
- renewiltord 3y agoI imagine the process of getting a .gov TLD and transferring it is currently arduous - perhaps because that .gov is a heavy hitter TLD. If so, local governments may lack the resources to put into place improvements for their constituents if blocked on that TLD. But if it is the case that the process for that is simple then what you say is reasonable.
