Motion to Abolish Domain Base Names

All base domain names (.com .org .net .info, etc.) to be abandoned and abolished forthwith.

The Reasons:

1) They are not fulfilling clear enough purpose and not being distinctive enough. Most websites provide some information (.info), allow some communication (.net), are associated with some organisation (.org), and maybe collect money in some way (.com). Thus these base names are mere noise words, creating confusion for users trying to guess the most appropriate one.

2) The base names lead to unwanted duplications, overlaps and mis-directions of the real domain names and the unnecessary disputes arising from this. Simply stated, the base names destroy the uniqueness of the real domain names. This is sheer folly.

3) Lest someone objects that there will not be enough domain names to go round, most main domain names can be differentiated more effectively and appropriately by addition of three or more letters of the domain buyer's own choice.

The Implementation

It is suggested that all existing domain names are converted to the new format protocol.uniquename by simple deletion of the dot before the base name. Example: www.somedomain.eu -> www.somedomaineu

This means that legacy compatibility of networks and browsers can be ensured with a minor parsing change and those who have grown attached to their base name (perhaps a geographical one which does carry some information) will get to keep it in this form.

No re-registration or change of any kind of the existing domains is necessary.

Summary of The Benefits:

1) Neat resolution of the major non-uniqueness problems plaguing unnecessarily the existing domain name addressing.

2) The changeover can be accomplished simply and with a minimal disruption, ensuring legacy compatibility.

3) New domain name creators become empowered to create many new unique and relevant names for themselves.
