Goals
Implement a system of free top level domains. Collaborators will learn about programming, networking, distributed computing, law, politics, community development, etc.

Free top level domains project. (FTLD)
This project is just getting started. It is an effort to supply the world with free top level domains.
Proposed free domains are: .ft (free TLD's) .wd (wiki domains) .world .earth .fd (free domains)...
Exactly which domain or domains that will be used is up to the community or the implementers to decide.
The basic mechanism of the system is as follows, presuming there are no legal obstacles:
One possibility is the implementation of a Firefox plugin that will forward queries to a server that will then match the query the servers address, or secondary address (could be an IP address or simply another domain name connected to the ICANN's system)
This would require people to install a plugin to be able to connect to the FTLD network.
Alternatively, with cooperation of ICANN this could simply be implemented normally.
Administration
There would be no arbitrage or made for Adsense sites. Additionally, there could be other controls:
- There could be domains that are meant for specific purposes or that prohibit specific purposes
- Domains could have a wiki style community consensus. ... Is a site a waste, or providing no useful information, then if that is a good domain the community could decide to give it to a user of the FTLD system that will use the domain more for the benefit of all
- Distributed servers could be used
- This could effectively bring the cost of implementing FTLD to nothing aside from time and negligible resources
