Must See CircleID

Here's an absolutely phenomenal thread over on CircleID: Ask Vint Cerf questions about new top-level domains, slashdot style. The best ten questions will be forwarded to Dr. Cerf, who will answer them online. (and Slashdot has its own thread on the CircleID thread as well.)

Keywords: icann, domains

I think my question was pretty-much to the point:

Vint, I've been waiting, patiently, since 1996 to compete with .Web. I participated in the IANA process with Jon, the failed IAHC process, the Green Paper, the White Paper, the IFWP, and now ICANN. .Web was not approved in 2000 even though you argued for it (which I appreciate), expressing some sympathy for pioneers in the field.

We're still here. I'm still here. We're still ready to go and introduce real competition into the gTLD namespace.

Do you suspect I'll be waiting another ten years?

I posted a slightly similar question.
