I think this is at least partially true. The other part is
that a fairly large number of entities are spending a very
large amount of money trying to obtain new gTLDs. Many of
those entities have ideas and consequent expectations about
how usable those TLD are going to be and for what. If the
reality doesn't match those expectations, I think it is
reasonable to assume that there is likely to be a good deal of
recrimination and finger-pointing. That might be followed up
by litigation and other sorts of unpleasantness.
Good point.
I try to avoid thinking about the new gTLDs as much as
possible, since they just make me disgusted and nauseated. So
I missed that this means a bunch of new top-level domains run
by people who may not realize what works and what doesn't work
with such domains.
Yeah. John Levine's note is relevant here too -- I didn't want
to go into that much detail and the note makes it clear that he
has been following things more closely than I have -- but email
addresses are certainly not the only issue or the only things
that work differently or are restricted in ways that those
applying for those domains may not have fully appreciated
(whether they should have been able to figure that out from the
Applicant Guidebook or not).
As to disgust and nausea, you might have ample reason to feel
that way but I couldn't possibly comment.
best,
john
