I have to be completely honest, I was thinking more like on(line) than OpenNIC so I didn't get what you were saying at first, but it standing for OpenNIC makes a lot more sense so I'm going to pretend that was my idea the whole time...

To answer your question though, I wanted it to be as short as possible *and* a real word people would know that sort of relates to the internet so it could kind of be as ubiquitous as .com is. To be clear however, I am open to changing the TLD to something else, I was just stating before that I didn't think it was an issue at all that .on is 2 characters.

I wouldn't want to use .onic I think, as that sounds both too official (officially relating to the OpenNIC Project itself), and too specific (to non-techy users and ISPs that might want to use OpenNIC in the future). If there was a TLD that fit with being short, generic, and "not weird" (so average users might understand it, simple English words would work) I could change my proposal, if this is a sticking point with people. ".dot" comes to mind immediately as an alternative, but I don't know.

Out of curiosity, why must the TLD be .on as that is a sticking point.

Could it not be .onic or similar?
