A new top level domain registry service survey has been put together
by Jothan Frakes. Frakes is seeking providers of services to potential
new TLD registries help him complete this second survey.
The survey is open until 4 August and to complete the survey, click

Registry Service Provider Speed Dating (from Frakes
on a Plane)
Two years ago, in 2008, I put together a session at the Paris ICANN
meeting where I gathered new TLD applicants and service providers
together in a room to meet each other.
Afterward, I put together a survey and then collected the information in
to a grid so that potential new TLD applicants could see side by side
comparisons of the many, many registry service providers, and make
informed decisions about their initiatives.
I had my friend publish the results of the survey which I’d run
personally, and many things grew from that in the two years since.
Some TLD applicants made technology selections, but many are still
making decisions. Some new providers have started operations. Subtle new
nuances have crept in to the application process which impact the
questions that should be asked up front.
This is the 2010 version of the survey. I’ll collect the information
until August 4th, 2010.
Participating registry service providers, I will interview you about the
service you offer, then publish the information to this blog through
August (and into September if the response volume is high).
This is an outstanding opportunity for registry service providers to
make their technology known and attract potential applicants.
If you offer Registration Services for a potential new TLD or ccTLDs,
please take some time and complete this survey
here.
