according to http://icannwiki.com/.bot
that sums it up fairly well.
The whole discussion just reminds me of children in the playground arguing over who gets to play with the red ball.
The zeroth law is most important, as well. If we try this route we'd have to be sure to implement that law first.
> A robot may not harm humanity; or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm.
That the three rules don't always work?
That's fiction, Foster. Some guy made it up!
After wading through the control panel, I finally found the domain registration section. But there is no .bot option as yet.
Judging by the pricing of other boutique TLDs, listed there, it will probably be a rip off. (Yup, all pure conjecture on my part.)
That said, I didn't even realize Amazon had a domain registration section. I'm with you that it'll be a total rip off. I'm hoping it's not that absurd because it'd be a really fun one to own!
You were downvoted because it added nothing to the discussion.
Perhaps keep an eye on this list: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/reg...
Looking through that Gandi seem to be a strong associate, they are pre-reserving there.
>Information on the .BOT space, registration policies, and launch dates will be forthcoming.
ICANN's wiki[0] is also lacking in information
I also got a laugh, wonder how many readers know who Sebastian Cabot is?
Why the long wait?
(Okay, 'bot' will probably be used exclusively to mean robot, but it has many other meanings: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bot)
EDIT: I should have read the rest of the comments before posting this.
