| | Top-level domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the past the Internet was just one of many wide-area computer networks. | | | A full list of currently existing TLDs can be found at the list of Internet top-level domains. | | | Most of these networks have long since ceased to exist, and although UUCP still gets significant use in parts of the world where Internet infrastructure has not yet become well-established, it subsequently transitioned to using Internet domain names, so pseudo-domains now largely survive as historical relics. |

| | Subnova: A monument to all your sins. |
| | "Internet" is a more difficult term to trace, since it is formally a mere technical noun, referring to any collection of otherwise independent computer networks linked together (as opposed to "intranet", which would refer to the smaller networks themselves). | | | But in the case of internet, web and net, a change in our house style was necessary to put into perspective what the internet is: another medium for delivering and receiving information. | | | Vinton Cerf of the Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said the next-generation protocol, IPv6, had been added to its root server systems, making it possible for every person or device to have an Internet protocol address. |

| | Is ICANN's New Generation of Internet Domain Name Selection Process Thwarting Competition?" |
| | As the Internet continues to grow, not only in terms of electronic commerce but also with respect to global communication in general, the number of people, businesses, and nations with a stakeholder interest in the fair and competitive expansion of its perimeters is growing. | | | This unhappiness of a significant portion of the Internet community was one of the driving forces behind a grass-roots attempt to institutionalize the function of the original ICANN, the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California, a government contractor that performed a set of functions known as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). | | | While most Internet engineers believe that some number of additional TLDs could be added without serious risks of instability, there is considerable uncertainty about how many could be added without adverse side effects, and very few engineers have been willing to absolutely guarantee that there was zero risk of instability. |

| | IANA Report on Establishment of the .museum Top-Level Domain |
| | The Internet domain-name system (DNS) was deployed under the guidance of Jon Postel in 1984 and 1985 (see RFC 921) as a distributed database for information about resources on the Internet, replacing the prior "hosts.txt" system. | | | The IANA concludes that the.museum TLD should be established by adding it to the root zone at this time for testing and evaluation jointly by the IANA and MuseDoma. | | | Under that contract, the IANA is responsible for various functions, known as the "IANA functions", associated with the management of the root zone of the Internet domain-name system. |

| | Strategies that asked 400 Internet user and business e-mail users how they discovered new Websites, 45.8% cited search engines as their top method. Three of the five most visited properties on the Internet in May, 2002 were MSN, Yahoo and Google. | | | In fact, Internet users in every region think that it is appropriate for noncommercials ranging from religious institutions, to hospitals, to use the.org TLD. This perception holds true whether one is referring to a local, national, or international institution. | | | The overall goal of the interviews was to collect information that would be of value in determining a strategy for positioning and branding.org TLD in the international marketplace. Complete charts of all participants sought for these interviews can be found in the Appendices at the end of this proposal. |

| | RLG DigiNews August 15, 2002, Volume 6, Number 4 |
| | The use of TLDs as host name extensions was intended to help users navigate the Internet, by classifying hosts according to the type of institution they represent. | | | Since the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS) was created in the mid 1980s, it has provided a framework for naming host domains (i.e., Web sites) as well as for managing the huge databases, or “registries,” used to locate particular hosts. | | | Since the late 1990s, the Web’s exponential growth has made it clear that more generic TLDs will be needed to help users find information and to maintain the stability of the DNS itself. |

| | 5) Categorized TLD's like.med,.per,.shop definitely have some value, just don't think they will be so reliable that one can create a classification system based upon them. | | | 2) New TLD's will not solve all problems, nor will they confuse all Internet users and destroy the Internet. | | | 4)Using the Domain Name System to categorize or classify segments of the Internet is no longer a viable idea. |

| | The article mentions that.mobi is needed because mobile devices change addresses and that due to the caching in DNS, DNS data will tend to be out of data as machines move. | | | I believe that.mobi, or rather the technology approach that it represents, could contain a significant "public detriment" by virtue of a potential lack of adherence to the spirt of some internet standards. | | | Nor do I understand why they want to turn DNS on its head and use it as a rapid-change distributed database. |
