[ncdnhc-discuss] Re: Why is "Marketing ccTLDs as generics" on NC Agenda?

[Vany Martinez]

Jonathan:

I have never asked to talk about Alternate Roots.
Again this was another confusion from who draft the
agenda.

Let call with proper names the things:
1.  An Alternate Root involves a server independent
from the actual roots that is resolving TLDs (.TRAVEL,
.GAME, .KIDS, etc, for example) different than the
ones created by ICANN, without using any technology of
masquerading an existent domain name within the actual
existent TLDs (.COM, .ORG, etc...).

2. The subject I am addressing is not Alternate Roots.
The subject I am addresing is the launching of
services as New.net and other Companies that uses and
masquerades actual domain names inside TLDs as .ORG,
COM, etc...in order to provide domain names inside
TLDs as .TRAVEL, .GAME, .KIDS, etc... If New.net want
to call themselves an Alternate Root, then is a bad
definition because they are functioning under the
actual Roots, maquerading existent domain names as we
know them to provide new TLDs, etc...And, such TLDs
are not resolved by everybody...only those who has the
software they download or the ISP has upgraded their
networks by adding some lines to their DNS
configuration, are the ones that are able to resolve
such domain names.

I hope this clarify more to you and everybody, what I
am talking about.

And, of course, comments are welcome.

Best Regards
Vany
