i appreciate a shared interest in infrastructure, resiliency, readiness and response, is not broadly held, but the "ralo status" of a single person (tom) is, imho, is of less _public_interest_ than the status of infrastructure operators in the sandy landfall zone -- at least this week. at present diesel is being hand carried in jerry cans up 17 floors at 111 8th ave to maintain operations on one floor, a major data center in manhattan, and a report (one of many on the outages list, and others) is in the link below. http://www.zayo.com/emergency-response interest and milage may vary, naturally. -e

Hmm. Let's recall what Eric said exactly: > new york is a neustar property I don't think that anyone is actually under the belief that Neustar owns the city. Eric's opinion in regard to branding and TLDs is fair comment (and one with which I, and I suspect others, are sympathetic). > . There is no connection between Tom and the .nyc application at this point in time. That is unfortunate, and IMO clearly the loss of the city, its TLD, and the public interest. - Evan

>> new york is a neustar property I understand what he meant. Nearly all of the new TLD applicants use one of a handful of familiar registry operators as back end operators, and the .NYC application says that their back end is Neustar. Nothing sinister about that. But Neustar isn't defining .NYC's registration rules, marketing plan, or other stuff beyond registry operations. That's the bit I was wondering about. R's, John

All, .nyc is indeed an application by the New York City government and is not a Neustar property as is referenced below. neustar is providing all of the registry services under an agreement with the City Government. There is no connection between Tom and the .nyc application at this point in time. I hope that helps clear things up. Best regards, Jeffrey J. Neuman Sent from iPad.
