New gTLDs, ICANN and the EOI
March 19, 2010Does ICANN need to learn from the EOI collapse? @kierenmccarthy thinks so http://bit.ly/9CW1tg but I beg to differ.
Kieren’s article is well written and he certainly put in a lot of thought and experience, yet it fails to see the bigger picture. Kieren himself is trapped in the trenches, of the ICANN battles in this case.
Who the heck feels the need for new gTLDs in the first place? The internet to many people out there means dotcom. Full stop. Unless the community starts questioning this underlying assumption, nothing is going to come out of this anyway.
With or without EOI.
