Discuss mailing list

Simon I'm going to have an issue with a .II tld as I have been attempting to get that going here since at least June 2015.
I've been designing / developing iinteractive software for some time and this is the release venue.
I haven't put through a tld request as various issues needed to be worked out, namely, 2 letter TLDs which was resolves a while back.
If I have to put in a tld request ASAP to "stake a claim " I'd appreciate older members letting me know.

Dear all,

I have joined this mailing list not long ago and would like to get some
clarifications with regards to registration fee for domain names.

Reading OpenNIC charter, I could not find anything preventing one to
charge registration fee for domain names. On the other hand, I feel
reluctance for approving domain names that would charge a registration
fee.

To me, and to reply to the below, even ICANN domains' are free to use as
one do not pay ICANN when resolving google.com - on the other side,
running a DNS server or a website is nerver free as one has to host
website and DNS servers.
On top of that I think there may be semantic issue with the term "free"
in the below; which I'd translate to "libre" meaning it is open to
anyone rather than "gratis".

Could you pelase share your opinion on this?


For reference, note that we (Liberland) are planning to run OpenNIC
servers to operate ".ll" TLD with a bridge to decentralized DNS and a
PKI based on Bitcoin blockchain. We are planning to use our E-Resindency
app as an easy entry point to resolve OpenNIC domain.
In the meantime, we are lobying to have LL added to the ISO 3166-1 and
obtain ICANN delegation to operate this ccTLD so that .ll wesites can be
reached by a broader audience. Note that we would keep on operating
OpenNIC servers.
To come back on domain registration fee: we were planning on some sort
of auction where domains registration would be free (i.e. gratis) unless
interested parties bid domain up.

More details to follow on the above at a later stage.

Thanks
