You can vote. Anyone can vote.

Seeing as the domain is already given to Amazon I doubt that will be happening.

We have a couple is issues that have been discussed regarding the impending collision with .free.  From what I've seen online, the ICANN version is expected to launch some time in 2017, so I feel it is best to start planning ahead.  Also because I realize we are in the holiday season and a lot of people may be away, I'm going to propose an extended voting period and will accept replies until January 2nd.  This vote will be kept on the mailing list, so please reply to this thread...

1) Should OpenNIC keep the .FREE TLD after ICANN makes it widely available, or should we drop it to avoid collisions.  Please vote "keep" or "drop" here.  Keep in mind that nobody has stepped forward to make contact with ICANN, Amazon, or EFF to see if we can even fight this.  And because of the popularity of the name, it is expected that .free domains will be very popular on ICANN.

2) If we do vote to drop .free when it becomes available on ICANN, OpenNIC should have a new TLD to fall back on.  Proposals have been made for ".libre" and ".liber".  Please cast your vote for which of these you would prefer we use.



If the vote for #1 is to drop, then I will mirror all existing .free domains to the new TLD.  We will allow domain registrations on the new TLD, but registrations under .free will be closed.  And I will continue to provide resolution for the existing .free domains until such time as domain registrations become available on ICANN.

If the vote for #1 is to keep, then I will re-open domain registrations under .free, and we will ignore the results from #2.
