Frankly, I don't give a fuck about these new TLDs ICANN is flogging
to companies for millions and I don't think we should either. Since
OpenNIC was "there first", I think the onus is on the operator of
the ICANN gTLD to resolve any conflicts. They won't, but the
alternative is to bend over to ICANN, which I don't want us to start
doing. If OpenNIC is just blithely giving way when ICANN pulls
things like this, then to me, it has no utility. The whole point of
OpenNIC to me personally is to avoid having to deal with the BS from
ICANN. -mb On 2016-12-03 01:03, Jonah Aragon

The creation of new sponsored gTLDs by ICANN in
general is concerning for the future of OpenNIC. There's some
tradeoffs to be made here I think, it's really a lose-lose
situation. One option would be to keep the .free TLD, as we
established it first, but this comes with blocking the .free TLD
Amazon now "owns" and potentially alienating new users to
OpenNIC, who expect to be able to browse ICANN zones. On the
other hand, removing the .free zone would just be complying to
ICANN's whims, which isn't really what I personally believe this
project is about, and hardly democratic.
I think we should hear from the .free operator
(Shdwdrgn, I believe) regarding how many registrations he
actually has at the moment and his opinion.
Personally, I'm undecided on the matter at the
moment, there's a lot of things to consider with an issue like
this.

So, I was looking into new gTLDs a few days
ago, and I learned that Amazon has just registered .free
as a new gTLD. Currently it's not active except for their
small "Coming soon" site(http://nic.free),
but will this affect our .free TLD at all? As far as I
know, we don't generally like to conflict with ICANN?
