Hi,

Just bump into this article of a site owner's experience with gTLD (he uses .xyz) which I think many of you may find interesting.

Lots of what he experienced was discussed in the UA group already.  And recently, I learned that someone tried to purchase a certificate of a domain where the TLD was delegated recently and the vendor can't sell as the TLD is not available.

Best,
Joseph
