Sure! But I guess who is running .co has a large experience.. we hope not face it there. Important to pay attention. -----Original Message----- From: at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:at-large-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Roberto Gaetano Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 3:36 PM To: 'At-Large Worldwide' Subject: Re: [At-Large] .CO user confusion? It might be useful also to revise the discussions we had for .cm, in particular wrt the wildcard. Cameroun was used betting on typos on the TLD, using the wildcard to redirect the requests. Roberto

Following on a conversation I've had with a concerned user, my eyebrow has been raised by the potential for user confusion in the re-launch of .CO which advertises its use not as a ccTLD, but as a gTLD. Whilst I know that this is not the first time a ccTLD is being marketed as a gTLD and I personally don't mind it at all (some communities have been able to subsidise local Internet access thanks to this), the omission of the last letter in a domain is possibly one of the more common typo errors out there, and since this is a user issue, I ask whether At Large should address this to ask ICANN to make recommendations to the .CO registry to avoid potential phishing? (best practice etc.) Perhaps .CO has already implemented safeguards in the .CO application process which take care of this?
Warm regards,
Olivier
