I think it’s a good suggestion. Decentralization of Internet resources and their transition to Web3 implies a decentralized management of the domain name.

Hey there people, this is Giuseppe, from the IoTeX DevRel team. Only a few days before we put this proposal up for voting. Any questions, or anything you think I could help you guys with?
Let me know, I’m around!

i think it would be fair for our “.iotx” domains that we’ve purchased through iotexdomains to be an access-code-nft for us to use to redeem the “.io” version of the domain from the proposed INS in the situation where the people behind iotexdomains don’t merge with INS. Iotexdomains were web3 and iotex community members that helped integrate iotex into various technologies and platforms with only one mention of the word “scam” with their handle on X for the entirety of their existence…and it’s one person asking if they’re legit (which they have come to prove that they indeed are with much of the Web3 community).
i know a lot of people missed the boat and want in on the domains that have already been claimed. however; setting a precedent of establishing that original assets are non-redeemable for the new ones when votes are made will fundamentally destroy the integrity of the community and of this blockchain. Who will want to build on a platform where people are encouraged to build just to randomly have their project and technology fall into obsolescence just because people with a lot of voting power got in late—despite little if not no mention of actual wrongdoing of what could have been anybody? Nobody with a better option.
I will say that: in the situation where the owner of iotexdomains isn’t trustworthy, it makes total and complete sense to leave them out of INS, it makes sense to make the “.iotx” domain NFT burnable in exchange for the “.io” ones so scamming anyone with the then obsolete ones is less favorable by comparison to burning and getting the real one, and it makes sense to disable wallets from sending “.iotx” domain NFTs and perhaps making a burn-exchange “function” on the blockchain (im a python guy, excuse me if my terminology is wrong) which would work flawlessly to prevent scammers from making fake burn-exchange sites to steal domains if there’s a “seal of authenticity” encoded in INSs domains.

I do think that everybody expected to be able to fully own their domain upon “registering” it, additionally. this ten-like post for a vote supported by about the same number of top IOTX holders with nearly the same amount of yet over 9 million $IOTX at that time is pretty suspicious. We’ll see how honest and respectable IoTeX’s most powerful authorities are!

it could destroy the free market on IoTeX
