Suggest some new top level domains

[Vroomparrot]

So apparently the internet is going to get a raft of new top level domain designations:

I wonder if they are open to suggestions? For example:

.fud - for tabloid newspapers.

Any ideas for other designations they wont but probably should create?

.sex and force ALL the porn sites to use them so they are easy to block/find.

this was in the metro a couple of days back, will make it much more expensive for companies as they would have to buy all these extra domains..

and make it much more confusing, as it is the most popular for me are .co.uk and .com, if there are 30 differnt .^^^ it would take more time to find the corrct site

one for open source progects could be nice, not sure what it would be tho

Whilst this would be good in theory, this would be allmost impossible to enforce/police.

Every country having different laws regarding the governing of the internet, then theres the whole question that you may be in one country but accessing content that is being hosted elsewhere round the world.

I was just joking...

.gnu ?

With the porn thing, you probably wouldn't have to force them, a lot of companies (according to the beeb article) have been trying to push .xxx through for a while now.

.gnu ?

I was thinking about that but thats just one type of licence and if you think about it would kinda be against the whole opne source philosophy. I suppose it could be something along the lines of .open but im a fan of three letters XD

.oss?

[Clunk]

.cotton

So... will all browsers, email systems, proxies, and web filtering software cope with this?

Anyone remember Nathan Barley?

The short answer is no, they won't. Don't expect to see new tld's tomorrow though.

How about being able to have .uk like any other normal country in the world.
(I know its nominet which are the plonkers not allowing this)
