<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Interesting. I agree with you. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The intention of the word "new" was for the "new" flavor of gTLD. The ones that were (and some continue to feel still are) anathemas and underwrote a trend of monetizing critical infrastructure. .COM was first but not considered new. Think .CLUB. The idea was that DNS was a commons and everyone ought to be on a level playing field. Today that is a mistake.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If removing "new" means we open 4.4 to .COM and .NET (for example), then this is more than an editorial change. If it simply is an acknowledgement that the gTLD is a mature concept and normalizes the language, it is an easy change. The overall gTLD should probably NOT be using 4.4. This pool has slowly morphed into uses that while "technically" valid, are well outside of intended use and in many cases are actually amusing to the trained eye.
