While blundering around the web, I stumbled on this old 2002 story from the 'Chronicle of Higher Education' about Educause and the ridiculous managerie of things that inhabit the .edu domain. http://pdc.cvc.edu/common/article.asp?idx=978&page=1
Cryptozoology I agree that .edu should be restricted to tertiary education and there are some absurd registrations there. On the other hand, I don't understand the supposed U.S. exclusivity of what is nominally a global top level domain. I wish there were a good way for .edu to transition to being used solely by RA/GAAP institutions, but I suppose I can't think of one. How would they know any better than the rest of us exactly how to determine formulaically which schools are legit and which are not? -=Steve=-
