Hello Guys,
I want to propose the TLD .GO,

The .TLD is going to be according all OpenNic Policies


Here is my charter:

--BEGIN--
Charter



.GO TLD - in the following document referred to as NIC.



Proposal

.GO is a TLD meant as generic name space for general purposes like

ICANN's .com, .org and .net TLD has been used (or misued by accident).

a larger list of exceptions for abusive behavior and non-legitime contents

is to be found in the policy to prevent disputes and criminal activity.



Policy



By Registering a NIC domain the Registrant agrees to the Policy.



This Policy complies withOpenNIC http://wiki.opennicproject.org/TLDPolicy



Registration

NIC domains can be registered by any individual or for an entity by an

individual/natural person. Registrations may be challenged at any time

if they are not held by an individual or if the holder cannot prove an

outside relation justifying reservation of the name, to prevent

"Cybersquatting". further exceptions are listed below.



Limitations

until further changes to the policy a registrant is allowed to hold a

maximum of 10 domains (including a tollerance of 3) with exception to

members, larger amounts of domain registrations ( more than 13 ) require to

request a quote including purpose of usage. (send your request to

domains AT register.GO)



domain names must be at least 3 characters long and can be at most 63

characters long, a domain excluding TLD should never have more than 5

labels to prevent dns spam.



shorter domains have higher cost, this cost is to support opennic servers and
maintenance

of the network.



2 char domains $100<- open to suggestions

1 char domain $1000<- open to suggestions.



Activity

NIC reserves the right to remove any domain not resolvable for more than

2 weeks.



Nameserver Configuration

NIC requires to setup a valid Zonefile, this includes a valid SOA and 2 NS.



Non-Profit clause

As this TLD is made available not for profit, domains (including

subdomains) may not be transferred for compensation.



Prohibited contents and behavior

• the content of each domain is responsibility of the domain owner

• opennic is not responsable for the content, if the law of any country

ask us about that content, we point them to you.





Trademarks and Big Corporations:

corporations, large enterprises (>50 employess) and financial entities

are allowed to expand their business under a GO TLD with the condition

to add an opennic logo or link on their web site.

In case of a registered trademark, it is possible for the responsible to

send a request to have their name registered by NIC and suspend

definitively or http forward to a given URL.

(This process requires verification, any cost created by this process

will be covered by the responsible in question).



Privacy



• Personal data will only be collected and used if required for the

creation or modification of a Handle. The registrant is obligated to

keep this information up to date. The Registrant's Email address will

only be used for information regarding their registered domains, policy

changes and major system changes.

• NIC does not give any personal information to third parties, with the

exception of OpenNIC as far as they are required to reasonably or forced

by law.

• The registrant has the right to information and a right to amend, to

suspend or to delete his saved information. If deletion conflicts with a

legal or contractual duty to save information, or other legal grounds,

the information will be made inaccessible.



Warranty and Liability

NIC tries to be as reliable and responsible as possible, however there

is no warranty for availability. For direct damages, secondary damages

or lost profits due to technical problems and disturbances we assume no

liability.



In addition, the Registrant agrees to free NIC from all claims by third

parties in regard to illegal content or activity. The exemption

obligation includes liability for all legal defence costs.



Updates

Minor changes, changes which will not affect registered domains, to the

policy can be made without notice in order to close loopholes quickly

and responsibly.

Changes which require to be voted on will be announced at least one week

before taking effect.

--END--

Thank You
