Discuss mailing list

It is relevant to OpenNIC as it is an extension of the OpenNIC root with 
the intent of bypassing OpenNIC's TLD registration requirements. So to 
answer your question, FreeNIC is an option if you want to register a TLD 
but you don't want to provide second-level registrations, a charter and 
a T1.

It is also relevant to OpenNIC as I'm the creator of .free, which I 
started as part of an earlier incarnation of FreeNIC with the same goal. 
FreeNIC was the registrar for .free domains before Julian took over the 
TLD. I abandoned the project years ago but I've decided to see if anyone 
is interested in bringing it back.

Finally, OpenNIC is the current de facto official altroot of the 
internet. Anyone looking to post anything altroot-related should come to 
this mailing list, with the intent of continuing the discussion in 
another venue if it has to do with a root other than OpenNIC itself. I 
do not believe that announcing the creation of a new root here is in 
violation of OpenNIC policy, especially considering that the FreeNIC 
master server uses the OpenNIC root and is listed on 
http://servers.opennicproject.org/
