Comment on Notice to stakeholders: withdrawal of the UK and EU rules on .eu domain names

Comments

Apart from my fury, which is caused by having a .eu as my main domain and living in the UK - reverse DNS, mail, etc, all quite hard to change due to trust databases -, this leaves me with yet another enforcement that we are in desperate need of domains - or something similar - that is yours, yours for life, and can not be taken away.

.onion would be ideal, but Tor itself has been criminalised so well, that vanilla people are and would be frightened to visit them - and they might even be right, given the amount of supervision ISPs have nowadays.

.bit is not a solution, it's just another registrar in it's essence, and a rather complicated one, that needs namecoin.

Is anyone aware of a work-in-progress solution or had nobody thought about this during the re-decentralize haste?
