Europe to warn consumers about .bank "risks"
http://j.mp/M53tVx (Domain Incite)
The EBA, the European Union's central banking regulator, said it
plans to issue consumer alerts, warning people about "the risks of
these new naming conventions". In a letter to ICANN published
today, EBA chair Andrea Enria said that a global gTLD such as
".bank" would not give consumers a good guide as to whether the
bank was regulated in their own country. ... The letter could come
as a blow to the American-led .bank application proposed by the
American Bankers Association and the Financial Services
Roundtable's BITS division.
