Sorry for my non-operational post... I wanted you folks to know that
the new gTLDs that the IAHC outlined in their final draft will be
operational by Feb 7th, 1997.
There was a meeting in New York, NY elier this month where many of
the aproved registrars worked on issues surrounding the CORE database
system. A draft RFP for the development of CORE is available at
http://www.core.gtld-mou.org/
I thought you folks would want to start tracking the situation with gTLDs.
You will have to decide on a Registrar to work with. You won't be able to
get deligations in the new gTLDs from the Internic, and the forms and
interactions will be slightly different.
For more info please see the following URLs

Please don't continue this thread on NANOG as they hate me enough
already. If you have questions read the web pages or mail me directly
