I like your list of general consensus properties.
Here goes :
-
The Do Nothing Approach. Let NRS names be claimed with abandon just like how alpha 2 and current test vaults operate.
-
Pet Names. Require plugins for the SAFE browser that enables the user to manage a local NRS of their choosing.
-
Safe Search. The NRS is combined with a search-like mechanism built into the browser. When someone enters “safe://cats” or “safe://happy.being” multple options are returned in a sorted order when there are more than one claims on that name/id. The user is then required to pick the real “safe://happy.being” they are interested in. Could be combined with option 2 to cache previous selections and make repeated visits less cumbersome.
-
The Perpetual Public Reserve and Private Squat. A public reserve of all current cleanet tlds, all single words in all online language dictionaries, and all proper names like “John” or “Scotland”, that cannot be claimed by any one entity. The keys for these public reserve names are published as version 0 of the site. Any other name not on this list (such as compound words or l33t spelling ) is available for private ownership, profiteering, or the perpetual squat.
-
The Great MaidSafe Auction. The same as option 4 but instead of a public burning via version 0 publishing of private keys, the tlds and common/popular public names are auctioned off to the highest bidder to generate funds or offered for sale to “valid” clear net recipients. A variety of other sale terms possible as well.
-
NRS Composting. Any one of the above options, but instead of having perpetual NRS, there is a time to live. If the current owner does not pay a maintenance fee to the network, then the NRS entry is reset and available for someone else to grab.
