Dean Pemberton last night submitted an application to InternetNZ for geek.nz. The opening paragraph of the application is:
"New Zealand is a country striving to become one of the technological elite. It does, however, suffer from a problem which sees some of it's brightest people leaving its shores. Geeks do not feel that they are taken seriously in New Zealand, allowances should be made to accommodate
them."
The applicant requests that the RFD process begin 'right away' and has no issue at being run at same time as .bank.nz process.
Note: I, among others, did QA the draft proposal for Dean and suggested changes which were included in the final version submitted.

On Sunday I wrote about the WLS service and the impact it would have on ccTLD's. Well, it seems a company has launched a "wait list" service for .uk called NameTrack. This is registrar level and they do have this comment at the end of the announcement:
"There is little likelihood that Nominet, who control .uk, will introduce a similar scheme at the registry level. NameTrack are therefore set to remain the .uk wait list provider of choice for the foreseeable future."
Maybe they plan to sell the technology to Nominet :-)
