Paris craint les adresses internet “.VIN”
Trois ministres ont interpellé Bruxelles sur le projet d’attribution de certains noms de domaine qui pourraient porter préjudice aux viticulteurs.
Les ministres français appellent plus largement Bruxelles à passer à l’offensive pour permettre une réforme de la gouvernance de l’Icann, organisme de régulation qui a son siège en Californie et relève à ce titre, en dernière instance, du département du Commerce américain.

9th June 2014 @ 14:00 UTC = GO !
.WEBCAM - .TRADE and .BID new domain names are entering General Availability today!
.WEBCAM
The new .BID Top Level Domain (TLD) name creates an online environment where buyers and sellers can rapidly locate the auction in which they wish to participate. A .BID Top Level Domain (TLD) provides a convenient, trusted name anchor that stands out from the competition, and prospective bidders will be drawn to it by its clear message and the fact that they can trade with confidence in a dedicated namespace. The use of .BID TLD improves online searches dramatically as global buyers and sellers are more easily able to identify the content of relevance to them, which in turn drives website traffic increasing trade and enhancing the auction process.
.TRADEDomain names from these 3 new gTLDs will be available to anyone on the basis of "first come - first served" at GoDaddy starting 9th June 2014 at 14:00 UTC.

Alternatives for .COM ? (Part 1)
This is the first article of a serie of two: which new domain name extension will replace .COM?
There are plenty of new domain names and if .COM never had any real identity or true meaning, it is quite possible that new gTLDs may bring new ideas to those who want to acquire a global identity without focusing on a country, a niche market, a specific industry, a community or just anything which does not cover “the world”. I made a list of these new domain names with potential to replace .COM and I believe that the alternatives might be in the article after.

Restricted domains: what they are
An extract from Donald's article:
"Thankfully some registries have set up their whois searches to let anyone know that the domain has restricted been restricted by ICANN. So if you were to go whois.donuts.co and search something like my.foundation it will give an error of being not blocked, and the same goes for whois.rightside.co with a domain like my.ninja".
