*From The Villager Blog:*
*Dot means war!**Paul Garrin*, of name.space, is fighting back. The city
has recently been selling off .nyc addresses, even though Garrin repeatedly
has explained that he created the .nyc top-level domain name — and .sex,
.chat, .art and many, many more — as early as 1996. He’s been operating all
of them on “alternate root,” outside of the main Internet that we all use,
because the powers that be, a.k.a. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers), won’t let him into the “main root.” Now that the
options of Internet suffix possibilities are finally being expanded, the
East Village tech pioneer isn’t willing to give up what’s his. And why
should he? He’s working to raise $75,000 for his lawsuit in federal court
against ICANN. As part of his plan to sell .nyc addresses, profits would be
funneled back into social-justice causes, like equipping schools with
laptops or buying back the old P.S. 64 / CHARAS and restoring it as a
community center. (Oh well, it may be too late for that last one,
unfortunately.) You can help Garrin by donating at rally.org/namespace.
