I was thinking, would anyone support the idea of registering .idu as an IDU internet TLD?

We could do something like blah.ce.idu for our nations, but that might get to be an infringement of natsov.

We are doing it for country codes now.... I don't see why it would be a problem.

Except that in JT the provinces each have their own codes within the country. So this would make a provincial page in Translaurent, for example, blah.tl.jt.idu. A little long...

But it could work.

I don't care either way, I've already made a NSwiki for my TLD, but it didn't take long and I wouldn't mind deleting it.

On the other hand, sivaris.ci.an.idu seems a bit long. (like J-T said)

I don't see how suggesting a standard international naming system infringes on anything or is bad. In fact, I support this idea.

How about those who want to join the .idu domain do, and those that don't want to don't? It's not something everybody has to do.

But what might be nicer is a general .idu domain, with everybody keeping their own tld. Like the .eu tld for example. So my cheese companies can set up .idu websites for their regional exports, and my people simple keep their .gd domains.

That's basically what I was thinking.

How would that infringe on NatSov in any way? You're too cautious, Ceo.

If this is the plan, I'm definitely in favour. Even if my original impression is the plan, I'm in favour. I like Groot's suggestion better, though.

[Grosseschnauzer]

I have no objection to a regional tld as well as national tld. The schnauzerlands federation will have a regional tld as well.

How and where are the tld's being compiled? On wiki?

[Jonquiere-Tadoussac]

I've seen two places thus far: the link Ceo posted at the top to jolt and the Nation Codes page on NSWiki.

Though NSWiki isn't behaving so well right now...

I like this idea better too.

[Groot Gouda]

I've mentioned the tld in the thread Ceo linked to. It doesn't matter what we do with it, as long as we have it

[Mikitivity]

A simply *.idu domain is welcomed by Mikitivity, though we also like the idea that nations will have the right to choose that or a nation / regional combination.

[Antrium]

If we can agree on how to do second level domains, we should wikify this.

Should every country have a second-level domain, using the nation codes, for example antrium.an.idu or ceorana.ce.idu?

Or something else?

[Eisophca]

Every nation should probably keep its normal TLD. (.an, .ce, .gd, etc.). But maybe we could also allocate an.idu, ce.idu and gd.idu for regional affairs space for the nations?

[Jonquiere-Tadoussac]

I agree with Ceo. Sounds good.

[Grosseschnauzer]

I like both ideas; that would create maximum flexibility with the domains.

There's nothing preventing the use of .idu.gs on the one hand or .gs.idu on the other, as well as plain .gs or .idu.

If we have a IDU-wide entity issuing domain names, that entity would issue the ones where.idu is the ending element (and it would issue .xx.idu in the nation that uses xx as its abbreviation; and the national agencies would issue the .ido.xx domain names.

If there wouldn't be a regional agency, then each nation could issue all four of these combinations within their nation.

[Groot Gouda]

I think we could leave national TLDs to nations (.gs, .gd, etc) and keep ".idu" like the real life ".eu" - for everybody. No second level for nations.

That makes sense, and so does Ceorana's plan. I support either one.

However, if we go with Groot, then we will have to come up with what second-levels will be used.

[Groot Gouda]

We could leave that free or roleplay the reallife mess, battling over each little secondlevel

If we want them (which I do not favour) we could reserve .co.idu, .org.idu, .edu.idu (gotta love that one) and .info.idu .
