Thanks for the reply Albino.

Now I understand what are you afraid of and I don`t share your opinion.

First of all, as I said before, for my opinion OpenNIC need to give people choice. So that people who come to OpenNIC page can find what they are looking for.
So I think OpenNIC can have large array of TLDs.

Second, If person want to create TLD and he canL
- do charter
- Tire1 server
- register syetem
- abuse system
for TLD that he is offer than and so this person demonstrates the seriousness of his intentions.
If it so I think that this TLD will not disrepair soon. OpenNIC can think about backup system for TLD owners it the DNS slave zone not enough.
Also, if this happen, OpenNIC can support this TLD on other servers (if think other TLD owners can handle this).

Third, other ccTLDs can appear only then if the previous item (paragraph) is performed.

Forth, as I said before, in Russia we have proverb:
   Literal version: If you're afraid of wolves, don't go to the woods.
   English version: If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
You even don`t tryed but already afraid of that.

Ok, will wait for other opinions (if they come) or will see the voting results.

P.S. And more again: DNS structure is for TLD carring and this is her destiny or it is completely useless.

With best regards, Dmitry S. Nikolaev

Hi Dmitry,

Sorry for my sporadic replies — I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to fully catch up with this list. 

I don't think quantity necessarily equals quantity in this situation. OpenNIC doesn't want to offer a bewilderingly large array of TLDs, it wants to offer a selection of unique ones with passionate people behind them. 

Alt-ccTLDs then present a couple of issues: firstly, that there's no way to decide who should control them: the first people to come along might not be the best. This is not meant as a personal insult to you; I think you'd be a very good administrator of .rus, but this issue could crop up in other cases. 

On the other hand, the opposite may be true: why should only Russia and Australia have alt-ccTLDs? We will never have enough T1 admins to cover every country (at least, not for the foreseeable future). 

ICANN solves this problem by giving each country TLD to some government authority, afaik, and letting them do what they wish with it. This isn't really possible for us. 

Secondly, promoting the creation of alt-ccTLDs encourages would-be contributors simply to pick a country and start a TLD for that. Every proposal would look the same and there wouldn't be any way to differentiate the people behind them. If people don't have to demonstrate that they're willing to put in the time to develop an original idea and charter for the TLD they want, I think we may see many new TLDs being created and quickly falling into disrepair. 

I understand that this is harsh criticism to an idea you're obviously enthusiastic about, but overall, I don't see a real advantage of creating these TLDs. Unless these issues are addressed in some way, I will vote no to proposals of new ccTLDs.

Hi.

Can anyone else say something about new-nations.net ?

If we start allowing them, everyone will want one for their country

and people who just want a TLD will be able to get one with relatively
little real work (and therefore won't think much of it).

I too am a little confused about the idea of a ccTLD.

Hmmm... are you sure ? What a news for me ! Separate projects but

with

obligations to each other ?

If you sure, so than they can take and other TLD`s also.
I find this post

https://www.new-nations.net/en/discussion/show/id/239

about .o TLD

If I understand right they now have only:
- .uu
- .ti
- .te
-.ku   

Maybe then it is worth combining OpenNIC efforts with them ? I think
it`s better.

P.S. I don`t see .RUS there or even suggestion of it.

Conflicts with New Nations is one that comes to mind

https://www.new-nations.net/en/about/showpage

Alternative cc-tlds generally go through New Nations.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know, OpenNIC still has active
peering agreements with New Nations.
I'm not aware of how active their community is, but New Nations

seems

more appropriate for an alternative cc-tld
