[At-Large] R: News on the .health TLD allocation

Sun Aug 31 19:06:06 UTC 2014

I personally agree with Hong. Besides the impact in US more than other
regions, what I see is a phenomena similar to what happened with .xxx when
those running against the law see how easier is to be identified under a
focused name like this one, and  they will not sign  to be inside. It is
dangerous than to be open in the cyber space to catch unaware people.  So
others pharms around the world will face similar conditions.
To growth, the owners of .health will need to have similar demand for
registration in other countries.  Since the process is through registrars,
the way is make similar agreements with locals registrars too. Mostly the
countries has a register to approved pharmaceutical product  to sell
inside the country. Last review of Trips also had encourage those
signatories not focused on such systems to start to work on it for
commercial/economics reasons.
