Hartes Geschäft mit neuen Top Level Domains
An den Verfahren bei der Einführung neuer Top Level
Domains gibt es noch einiges zu verbessern. Zu diesem
Ergebnis kommt der von der ICANN vorgelegte
Evaluierungsbericht zu den sieben ersten neuen Top
Level Domains. Der 150-seitige Bericht der Firma
Summit Strategies, der die Erfahrungen mit info, biz,
name, museum, aero, coop und dem noch immer nicht
aktivierten pro zusammenfasst, rät vor allem zu
einfacheren Verträgen und mehr Aufmerksamkeit für
technische Probleme bei der Einführung neuer Top Level
Domains.

Introduction of the .aero, .biz, .coop, .info,
.museum, .name and .pro gTLDs
The experiences and lessons learned from the initial
introduction of new gTLDs (.aero, .biz, .coop, .info,
.museum, .name and .pro) will provide an invaluable
foundation for ICANN's development this year of a new
predictable strategy for selecting new TLDs using
straightforward, transparent, and objective procedures
that preserve the stability of the Internet.
