How about moving our .free domains to a different TLD, maybe creating a new one such as .open, rather than dropping them? I'm the creator of .free and I think .open would best match the original intent of the TLD.

In the past we have always left it up to a member vote, however the vote has always leaned towards remaining compatible with ICANN.  That doesn't mean this time won't be different.  If we vote to retain our own version of .free, it means nobody using opennic DNS servers can reach the icann .free websites.  Unfortunately there is no middle ground here, it has to be one way or the other.

I was told OpenNIC wouldn't drop TLDs because of ICANN's open root policy. Has this changed?                             v

It was mentioned on IRC today that the .free TLD has been taken over by ICANN, which puts opennic in conflict.  Can anyone confirm if this is actually the case?

If this is true, then we only have two options... retain our TLD and conflict with ICANN, or drop our TLD and all of the domains underneath it (there are currently 150 registered domains).
