[NCUC-DISCUSS] Cross Community Discussion/ Geographic Names at the Top Level Session II

[Niels ten Oever]

I liked the presentation of Jaap Akkerhuis when he presented to the GAC
about this issue. The ISO list has a clear hierarchy, but this is not
present in the DNS. There is a Berlin in Wisconsin, Idaho, Ohio, New
Jersey, Maryland and Germany. Who should get it?

And what happens to already allocated geonames such as .amsterdam,
.berlin, .friesland, etc?

The GAC has no model to solve this whatsoever, so am not so clear what
they are pushing for. Or do they want to offer priority in the auction
process to geographies? I would not necessarily be against that. Or did
I miss something?

Cheers,

Niels
