All,
This is precisely the problem that the gTLD Registry Constituency was trying
to address. This did not originate from NeuStar or NeuLevel, but rather the
constituency as a whole. The fact that it was submitted by me, the chair of
the constituency has nothing to do with the fact that I work for NeuStar or
NeuLevel.

It's an odd message, but the generic problem they are alluding to is real.
The owner of a .info domain name complained to us that when he tried
entering his "something@example.info" address on a couple of different
major e-commerce sites, the address was rejected. I forget the names of
the sites involved, unfortunately, but testing indicated these sites were
validating addresses using regexps that rejected any TLD that was not two
or three characters in length. This was more than a year after .info was
introduced.
Nothing we can do about it, of course, but I had to calm down a customer
who thought we had sold him an "invalid e-mail address". Sigh....
