@gytisrepecka @da5nsy OFC!

• I'm the last one questioning that.

I hope that @dotmeow can offer #domains on at-cost basis for #members / users, because once a #gTLD is setup and running the cost of infrastruture to keep it up - even if it were €10k+ per month - is miniscule when divided by the amount of users and registrations.

• I do however hope that .meow will take lessions and have fundamental policy changes: Banning #DomainParking and #DomainSquatting as well as #auctions of highly-sought-after #domains, because it is a net negative for #users, the #TLD and the rest of the internet if big companies can occupy large swaths of the internet just to commit "#AssetDenial" under dubious pretenses (#Trademark) to bad (anti-competitive) behaviour.

Having domains that are not actually being used or being merely registered for resale being repossessed and registrars of said domains banned would be something I'd love.

• NOONE wants the same #Enshittification as happened to @eventphone, where someone squatted 4000 numbers and the only way to remediate chaos was to expunge them as someone tried to resell said numbers...

@dotmeow @da5nsy granted, #OpenNIC does also resolve the #ICANN #rootzone, and in fact they actually went out of their way to cancel a comflicthig #TLD in their rootzone...

• The problem is the concentration at ICANN and the ones that tried to fight that #monopoly legally - #NameDotSpace - seem to have gone bankrupt on that endeavour...

Obviously you'd not do a #Kickstarter campaign and try to raise $$$$$$$ in funds if you didn't want to get included in ICANNs rootzone, which paywall the hell out of gTLD applications...
