But when you can book an appointment at a ford dealer next to you that would be kind of "action generation". Or what is when Ford will never get ford.new, is it free to register by anyone?

Well, good luck when your app gets flag by their bot, broken because the .new no longer works, and you can't get a hold of Google to remove you from their blacklist. Just read all the horror stories about apps on Google Play.
Well that would be a different issue... But their requirements / vision for the .new domain are not unreasonable or ill-intentioned.

They seem quite different, restrictive, and onerous to me. In particular "registrations must have websites that are both live and compliant within 100 days of registration". You can't register a domain to use later, you have to get something up quickly, something that satisfies Google's vague "action" requirements.
That part is actually positive though - if you want to squat a domain for over 100 days too bad.
Wouldn’t it be so much better if domains were specified the other way? new.github.repo It makes more sense and sounds better in most languages too Although from the point of view of HTTP we already have verbs for that. It should really be POST github/repo Or maybe in user friendly display: new github/repo I guess maybe usa.github and in.github can be different domains because different organizations may have same nam…
"Treating a TLD as a verb is just silly. It comes at the end of the sentence..." Yes, ending a sentence in English with a verb is definitely something that you never do. Can you imagine how ridiculous that'd be?!
Fine — it’s not a verb, it’s an adjective after a noun.

Yeah I get that, but rather than Google opening it up for open registration and having the usual domain land grab, they could have created domains for each action and allow service providers to register intents in their services for each action. It's going to make discovery of actions much harder if there are different actions for different providers. It will also mean the usefulness of the pattern will be limited ba…
They could have used subdomains: dominos could register dominos.pizza.new and pizzahut could register hut.pizza.new pizza.new could then list and search through all the registered subdomains (and would be hosted by google).
vs typing dominos / click the link / login and select last order / reorder.
There's a requirements list, by the way: "That means that all .new domains registrations must: - Be used for action generation or online content creation; - Take the user directly into the action generation or content creation flow; - Resolve to the action within 100 days of registration;* and - Allow Google Registry to verify compliance at no cost."
I'm wondering how that would work for an online shop. Lets say I went to amazon.new - what should I expect to see? Maybe a new empty shopping cart? Or a list of new products that have just been added to the store? I think new products would be most intuitive for a shop.new domain...
Pointless but I guess they are trying to justify the cost of .new

If it's something I do frequently, my browser autocompletes an ordinary long URL after 1-2 characters. It doesn't seem very game-changing to have to type in a whole short URL instead. What am I missing?
My browser is not reliably auto-completing URLs to specifically post a new tweet, or create a new calendar entry, or write a new email, etc. Those URLs are often long and bulky. The intent of .new is when you know you want to perform a specific action (like write a new doc), you type in the first few characters of the related .new domain name, let the browser autocomplete do the rest, and now you've already got the n…
