STOP je veux sortir de cette discussion ! c'est quoi ce bordel ???

Le samedi 3 décembre 2016, Brian Koontz <brian AT opennicproject.org> a écrit :

Back when OpenNIC first started (2000 or so), the policy was that the
membership would vote whether or not to keep colliders in the zone.
At some point, the policy changed where we simply rolled over as an
organization whenever ICANN came out with new TLDs.  I was never in
favor of this.  At some point, if we continue rolling over with
colliders, we will simply be pushed out of existence by colliding
TLDs.  Hell, ICANN could put a stop to this in one step by simply
reserving colliding TLDs.

We need to keep .free, and every other collider.  We need to fight to
keep what is ours.  ICANN's hold over DNS is in question now that the
US Government is no longer in control of ICANN.  Maybe it's time to
step up to the plate and make a big deal about this, rather than
shrinking back into the shadows.
