[ NNSquad ] In case you missed it earlier this year: Europe to warn consumers about .bank "risks"
Europe to warn consumers about .bank "risks" http://j.mp/M53tVx (Domain Incite) The EBA, the European Union's central banking regulator, said it plans to issue consumer alerts, warning people about "the risks of these new naming conventions". In a letter to ICANN published today, EBA chair Andrea Enria said that a global gTLD such as ".bank" would not give consumers a good guide as to whether the bank was regulated in their own country. ... The letter could come as a blow to the American-led .bank application proposed by the American Bankers Association and the Financial Services Roundtable's BITS division. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
