Re: [ALAC] [registration-issues-wg] The Ten Worst Top Level Domains
As someone who, in a former life, owned a domain that was incorrectly blacklisted, I can say that the procedure to request a review/removal was fairly easy. But that’s not really an issue of universal acceptance - it’s more directly
related to “abuse”, how it’s handled and that most networks are private so the operators will protect them
If an innocent registrant is affected as collateral damage because a registry's policies (and/or lack of enforcement) are widespread enough to cause the whole TLD to be blocked by trusted entities(*), that is most certainly a UA issue. Certainly not everyone here would agree with me when I assert that the high level of abuse brings the entire new namespace into disrepute. But when "who can I trust?" needs to become a factor in choosing a TLD, I think that's a problem for the whole ecosystem. - Evan (*) Even if *you* don't much trust Spamhaus' judgements, significant numbers do.

But this is just sensible! As you rightly say when "who can I trust' becomes top of mind in choosing a TLD then surely the ecosystem is threatened! -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
