Personally, I'm in favour of keeping .free and letting ICANN explain
to people why there's collisions. Are we going to just roll over the moment ICANN takes up a TLD that conflicts? Because if so, then we may as well not even bother with operating, because we'll be dead the moment they reopen gTLD applications next year. -mb On 2016-12-03 22:14, Jonah Aragon

I'm strongly in favor of .libre, and I don't see a
reason it would be used by ICANN really (and that hasn't stopped
us before, I can see a good use case with a lot of our TLDs that
haven't been used). .liber is also good but I feel like some
people may not have heard of liber as opposed to libre which is
in more popular use, and think it's a misspelling.
I guess I don't really have an alternate proposal, just
wanted to show support for .libre, it seems the best
alternative that would be aligned with .free's policies based
on name alone.
I'd like to add I don't support numbers in TLDs for
usability reasons. I don't think they would fall in popular
use, especially when similar letter-only domains exist as an
alternative (.free vs .fr33). That's just my opinion though, I
wouldn't use it but perhaps others don't think the same.

As Jonah mentioned in the other
thread, it would be best for us to goahead and plan ahead for the worst. Based on the comments so far, nobody wants to just drop our existing domains under .free, so we will move forward with the assumption that we will either be ignoring the new ICANN zone, or we will be transferring our domains to a new zone. In the event that we migrate to a new TLD, lets start discussing what we would like to use. So far "libre" (French) and "liber" (Latin) have both been proposed. Libre is a more mainstream term and thus has more of a potential to also be snagged up by ICANN in the future. Does anyone else have suggestions they want to propose? Going off of RFC3696, section 2, valid TLDs may contain standard letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), or hyphens (-). The TLD may NOT start or end with a hyphen, nor may it be completely numeric. So as an example, we could legally create a new TLD with the name .fr33. Please keep these rules in mind when submitting your suggestions for a new TLD. -------- You are a member of the OpenNIC Discuss list.
