Hi!
What is your opinion about Cesidian Root, Name.Space and similar?
Do dot-bit.org agree them?

Hi!

As you can see on the list of dns servers, we try to use other alternatives too :
- OpenNIC (http://www.opennicproject.org/)
- New Nations (http://proxy.dot-bit.org/browse.php?u=h ... &f=norefer)
- .42 (http://proxy.dot-bit.org/browse.php?u=h ... 42%2F&b=28)

New Nations is integrated into OpenNIC now (as the recent .neo and .pirate), so it's easier to add them.
DotBIT is following the same way (see a draft for a peering agreement with them), to reach more people.

What about other DNS root ?
Are they popular ?
Do they propose their own "." zone or not ?

Cesidian Root was created and is managed by Cesidio Tallini, a very creative personality in the world of Micronations. But in that arena, he and his initiatives are hotly discussed and quite often rejected. That means any declaration for or against him steps into a diplomatic mine field.

What keeps you from adding Cesidian Root (at least a partial) and Name.Space?

They are very interesting!

Nothing, except it's not part of our (the dotBIT project) aims to integrate all existing alternate gTLD. But each DNS server owner can add them if they want (you can contact some with the link on their name on the DNS page).

OpenNIC is regularly integrating more and more gTLD (like .pirate, .neo, new-nations) and .bit will be integrated soon too. I guess this is the way to follow for those alternate gTLD (like we are doing it). If they are integrated into OpenNIC, our servers resolving OpenNIC zones will also resolve those new TLDs.

Did you already contact OpenNIC about that ?

One of their servers is already replying to .bit requests (tests have been done and everything is ok :p).

We must wait about one week for them to launch their new website and then the vote (you'll need to register again to vote :p).
So, i hope the vote will be favorable but there is no reason to refuse it :)
