[governance] Workshop Proposal for Vilnius - City-TLDs: Impact,

[Eric Dierker]

I like this point.  I would volunteer to be Governor and work for free --- Just that;;; Everyone would have to agree to do nothing. ;-)
 
Thomas' idea has merit. And in keeping with this genuine warning, I would suggest that as long as he does not paint himself into a preconceived notion of what should be/or that he wants, the result could be quite constructive.  Whereas Olivier sees the multiple cities with same name an obstacle I see it as an opportunity to share the name /ala sister cities/ need it be competitive?  Why not corraborative and trust and understanding and culture sharing.
 
If we can step back and view the Internet as a grand communication device, then we need not surrender to marketers and capitalists, but rather embrace commonality and the higher level of understanding.  If I can transmit my poetry, music and fustrations and problems in a more efficient manner why should that be a bad thing?

I agree with you although I wonder whether you wish to open such a can of worms. Your aim appears to be to have an informational session about city TLDs - perhaps working with others to write a set of best practices?
You'll then have to answer questions of the type:
If there is a Paris in France and a Paris in US, why don't they use paris.fr and paris.tx.us ?
Admittedly, how does .nyc relate to the already existing .nyc.ny.us ?
Roland's questions will also come up.

Are you ready to have a potentially heated session on this?
