Did any of you see the nom-announce that went out this morning? It's regarding the possible introduction of .uk.name SLD's.
See the announcement below:

From:Nominet UK
Subject
ossible introduction of .uk.name
We are seeking your feedback on the possible introduction of .uk.name and
other two-character SLDs for .name
Global Name Registry has submitted an Internet Registry Request Service
application to ICANN which proposes the "Limited release of initially
reserved two character names".
That is to say that Global Name Registry wishes to add and reserve for
third level registrations all two-character strings according to the
current rules in the .NAME registry. The strings will be added to the
already existing shared third-level namespace on the .name gTLD available
to people worldwide through ICANN Accredited Registrars, and made
available for registration on the third level on a first-come,
first-served basis. All two-character names will be shared and not
released directly on the second level.
This would obviously include .uk.name and could have an impact on the .uk
domain space. As such we are compiling a response to this proposal. To
help inform our response we are seeking the input of our members and other
stakeholders. If you wish to input to this response, please email us:
[email protected] by 15 October 2006.
A copy of the proposal is available at
ICANN | Submitted Applications for New Registry Services and
http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/GNR_Proposal.pdf.
The initial timeline for responses is 15 days from the date of issue, i.e.
17th October 2006. In the event that ICANN reasonably determines during
the 15 calendar day preliminary determination period that a proposed
registry service might raise significant security and stability issues,
ICANN will refer the proposal to the Registry Services Technical
Evaluation Panel. The Panel shall have 45 calendar days following referral
to prepare a written report regarding the effect of the proposed service
on security and stability. We would all have the ability to give further
input during this period.
Please email us your comments to [email protected] by 15
October 2006.
