Dear Louis,<br>
<br>
Whether unfortunate or not, English is a major language in
India... India may therefore be quite interested to prevent
privatisation of English language words which then will be used as
carriers of corporate painted culture into India......<br>
<br>
In the new times, the principal means of global domination -
economic, social and cultural, is threefold<br>
<br>
(1) Exporting culture, (2) (and then) seeking rent over using
alien culture, (3) controlling the digital socio-technical
infrastructure (Internet) as the means of both for exporting
culture and extracting rent, and also as lever of coercive force
employed across the world (as done by US-Microsoft recently in the
<a href="http://3322.org" target="_blank">3322.org</a> DNS takeover case)<br>
<br>
Therefore private TLD are a part of a much larger problem. <br><span><font color="#888888">

Today 'The Hindu' carried its own editorial on this issue,
simply titled 'No, ICANN'....<br>

India's interest for new TLDs is indeed relatively minor, with
regard to her population. Only 21 requests. Some strings tend
to be quite generic: IDN, INDIANS, STAR, STATEBANK. How they
will fare in the ICANN screening process, who knows ?<br>
<br>
IDN is doomed, as it's Indonesia's code in ISO 3166-1 alpha-3.<br>
<br>
Good luck. Louis.<br>
