You still didn’t say if you all say
“gone done” in Texas.

Which is why the letter is either wrong or written by the outside party. If so, I think its disingenuous to say the city can't afford it due to budget deficits if it wasn't going to be paying it anyway. Patrick, I thought someone else was paying for it too.

Apparently it thinks it will make money with the domain name." Okay Andrew, Now you've done it and gone done confused me. (You say "gone done" in Texas, don't you?) Are you sure the City of New York would be paying the application fee for the .NYC TLD? I thought Anthony Van Couvering's group was spearheading the app for .NYC and wanted to bring the City on board by offering a commission for every .NYC domain sold. My understanding is that the offer was to sell .NYC domains for $10 and the City would get one third. So which end is up? “For a city facing budget deficits of billions of dollars, you must wonder why it is so keen on pursuing the .nyc top level domain name.
