owen,
at several points you assert that gtlds are "global", which i suggest is an
error on your part.
TLDs come in two flavors.
GTLD -- Global Top Level Domain -- A domain which contains records for entities
not restricted
to a particular geographical area.
CCTLD -- Country Code Top Level Domain -- A domain which is under the control
of a particular
national government represented by the corresponding 2-letter ISO
country code.
The G in GTLD is Global... I'm not asserting anything, it's flat out in the
term.
ok. we've reached the point where your subject matter expertise is
obviously greater than mine.
i've been working in icann policy and registry technology since ...
well, since the nic contract was one floor below my office in sri's
e-building.
and you _know_ that "g" means "global".
