why new GTLDS .FAIL

[humble pie]

I think you should know that I'm at the coal face on this one if you excuse the analogy. I go to networking business meetings regularly and i can tell you that it's not hype thats going around businesses I meet but a huge enthusiasm for .wales & .cymru. There are many Welsh speaking businesses that would rather use .cymru than .co.uk .uk or .com because its all about identity and being proud of who you are and where you're business is grown from. If its good enough for the Welsh gov then its good enough for business in Wales.
Its worth the investment for me.

I can only imagine the clientele attending your networking meetings, are they going to understand the implications of using these extensions down the line. The fact the welsh gov uses a .wales hardly fills one with confidence does it?

Anyway.. whats wrong with being proud of the fact your from the .UK?

I think it's not a good proposition when you have to choose between .wales between .cymru.
Which one is supposed to depict Wales best ?
Not taking sides here, just wondering...

The situation gets tricky with generic extensions when you have several redundant, competing extensions like .photo .photography .pics .pictures etc
This is was one of the numerous points raised in the article.
End result: dilution.

I think it is downright criminal on the part of icann to allow this mess to happen.

There's a .horse?

I've just checked and sadly someone's already registered mylovely.horse.
