Some ideas for the Republic of NH website

[Russell Kanning]

Time for our own top level domain suffix?

.nh

or what?

    For quite some time now, individual persons or organizations interested in obtaining their "own" TLD have been requesting the inclusion of "new" country names into ISO 3166-1 in order to get a new alpha-2 code element from the ISO 3166/MA and subsequently a ccTLD from ICANN. Such requests are absolutely futile, however, because the only way to enter a new country name into ISO 3166-1 is to have it registered in one of the following two sources:

        * United Nations Terminology Bulletin Country Names or
        * Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use of the UN Statistics Division

    To be listed in the bulletin Country Names you must either be

        * a member country of the United Nations,
        * a member of one of its specialized agencies or
        * a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice.

    The list of names in the code of the UN Statistics Division is based on the bulletin Country Names and other UN sources.

    Once a country name or territory name appears in either of these two sources, it will be added to ISO 3166-1 by default.

Maybe we and the pirate party guys will just have to stick with .com or .net or something.

Start your own Toplevel DNS Server (there was this attempt as "alternic", don't know what came of it). Better, start your own internet and just put a bridge to the other internet somewhere.

Yea .... that really is all that it takes .... we don't have to be politically correct.

You already have .info and .glue and .biz (Though not .biz so much anymore because the government made one of their own and hijacked that one causing all sorts of chaos as their wer 2 .bizes for a while.
