ICANN has asked that interested
entities self-identify their intent to run a TLD registry. Image Online
Design would like to remind ICANN that it has been interested in such
an activity since 1995, when it began this process, and through 1996
when IANA gave it specific instructions to begin live operations as
a proof of concept.
As is well-documented,
Image Online Design operates The .Web Internet Domain Registry. The
structure and purpose of this TLD is indistinguishable from any other
TLD structure now operating, or anticipated to be operating at any
time in the future. The purpose is to provide users of the Internet
with an alternative to existing (and anticipated) TLD registries.
The likelihood of Image Online Design submitting a formal application,
provided that the process is fair and objective, is 100%.
