of course it does - just my personal opinion
but there’s money to be made, so it’s going to happen

Eduardo, Chokri,

Thank you for your replies, which tells me what you are talking about exactly.

I think the mention of use of blockchains in this context clouds the real issue - which is whether the existence of an alternate DNS to the one that ICANN "manages" threatens the core concept of one world one Internet.

Justine:

Encirca is selling domains in the blockchain - see https://www.encirca.com/blockchain/.

Check the presentation that they gave NARALO about this theme:  https://www.facebook.com/647891920/videos/2953461934799818/ . The presentation starts around 4 minutes into the video.

Dear Justine,
Thank you for your time and interest in this topic.
To answer your question "Do you have or can you collect some actual data to support your remark of "Some ICANN accredited registrars sell some blockchain DNS based gTLDs,"
Yes , I know some as I have mentioned in the question but it will be very hard to get exact data, and   I think that it will be useful to suggest to ICANN to make a study about the accredit registrar whose selling Blockchain domain name.

Friendly regards
Chokri

We need to examine available information such as:
-Whether OCTO has or is looking to change its position from the relevant paper it published in April 2022 on this topic, in light of developments with blockchain etc etc
-Whether SSAC has or is working on an opinion on the topic (outside of NCAP, for which alt DNS is out of scope)

Do you have or can you collect some actual data to support your remark of "Some ICANN accredited registrars sell some blockchain DNS based gTLDs,"?

Kind regards,
Justine

Dear friends,
I personally have in mind those  questions for the board about  distributed DNS

"Some ICANN accredited  registrars sell some blockchain DNS based gTLDs, did the board  encourage such activities?
If some non regular DNS causes some collision with some regular DNS gTLD ,accredited by ICANN, how will ICANN act to resolve this issue?"

If you  continue to consider those questions immature as most of our friends mentioned during the call, I personally support Sebastien's proposal to constitute a subgroup that will continue to follow this topic.

Thank you again for your interest in this topic.
Friendly regards
Chokri
