.eliteland

Salon has an interview with John Gilmore about the problems of ICANN and why it must go. For those of you who don’t know who ICANN is they control the top level domains like .com, .org, .net, etc. They make the rules about how they are used and who can have a name inside the domain space.

Hmm, just had an idea for a site that let’s people create their own TLDs, handles name conflict resolution and serves as a new root domain name service. I remember other people working on this before. Surely some site out there must let you create rogue TLDs like .eliteland and handle name resolution for you. I remember places trying to do this in the 90s. Wonder if they are still around.
