trademarks. trademarks are for idiots. look at the mess icann made with
trademarks. i'm sure based on your tone we agree that nonsense won't fly.
just read our domain agreement. at .GOD we don't have domain holders. we
make domain owners. we are the licensor and they the licensee.

well - i believe that was an intentional marketing ploy. in fact goolnik
made it very clear they would work - within a specific time reference he
did not meet as far as i can tell. i've been in touch with alot of his
domain holders and they keep in touch with me. so i get tidbits here and
there.
and sleeze - as soon as 9/11 came down goolnik was selling .usa domains to
tearful americans all in the name of pride. he should of been in
government - i think he missed his calling.

i don't know either. but they are not recognized in inclusive namespace
as having title
http://www.dot-god.com/cgi-bin/whoisd/whois.cgi?name=shop
so they will be recognized on judgement day. the unfortunate problem with
new root is that they choose to go it alone and they violated a very
imporant inclusive namespace rule - thou shalt not collide.
this rule is flexible. the inclusive namespace tld .biz was dropped from
the inclusive namespace. one operator dropped and the others quickly
followed. and the demand for change came from inclusive namespace isp's
poor little .biz could not compete with the icann collission.
but i cann confirm there is legal action in the wind directed at icann for
that nauty indescretion. remember - you heard it here first.
