PuntCat: "El Consell d’Administració d’ICANN ha aprovat, de forma definitiva, el domini .cat."

Chris Ambler: "We get .cat, but we can't get .web? When do I get to wake up? This is too surreal to be reality."  I agree. It's a strange system indeed that produces .AERO, .TRAVEL and .CAT but leaves .WEB on the sidelines. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the .CAT folks, but yesterday's approval of another micro-niche TLD only underscrores the need to move forward on generic TLDs that will benefit a broader segment of the Internet community.

Ross Rader: "I find the whole notion of sponsored TLDs to be completely contrary to everything that ICANN stands for. These sponsored TLDs are all about exclusion and they really have no place in today's open Internet." I wouldn't go as far as Ross, but I certainly don't suppport the current priority of introducing niche TLDs while largely ignoring TLDs designed to serve larger segments of the community.
