.BAIRES, .MUNICH, .ARAB… real TLD initiatives or just rumours?
Reading about a new gTLD initiative or just hearing it mentioned doesn't necessarily make it real. So if anyone has any bona fide information on projects like .BAIRES (for Argentina's Buenos Aires), .MUNICH or .ARAB, I'd love to hear from you.

.SELL, .WIKI… new gTLDs on alternative roots or just another scam?
Came across this little gem of a website the other day. I suppose it was inevitable that the new gTLDs would attract people who don't have a problem being economical with the truth.

An enlightened survey on new gTLDs? ICANN doesn't think so!
Have a look at the ICANN blog and you'll see a post by ICANN Director of Media Affairs Brad White. The post is about a survey commissioned in England by a registrar called Gandi. The survey, carried out by The Future Laboratory, questioned 100 UK businesses about the new gTLDs. The result, as touted by the survey, is that "Two-thirds of the 100 UK businesses surveyed are still unaware that liberalisation (of the Internet) is happening."

Everyone is copying the domain name system
Read a story somewhere that Facebook will soon allow users to register their own "vanity URLs". From what I understand, anyone with a Facebook account will be able to request a correspond Facebook.com URL, with a key word of their choosing. So I could have facebook.com/stephane for example.

Yes, some people actually want new TLDs!
It sometimes seems as though ICANN's plan to open up the Internet's top level to an unlimited number of new suffixes is coming under constant criticism. That's partly because those sending the loudest "don’t do it" messages would have us believe that they speak for an overwhelming majority.
