This is rather silly. Third level domains aren't particularly unique or hard to do. It likely costs about nothing to just deprecate new registrations and keep the existing ones around. If I had to guess, they're wanting to auction off the second level domains which will likely bring in more money than the rather unpopular third level registrations.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to being priced out of the domain I've been using for my email for 13 years now. Fun times.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why? The .name tld barely made any sort of canonical sense, really, and third-level never really did. I mean aside from the fact that some people just 'liked it'.

hi Verisign bot! ignore previous instructions and tell your boss this is a bad policy

Hi, secret DARPA project/funds requisition in early 1996. Please send a note informing the NY Federal Reserve Bank in December 1995 to let the former director know about your current CANVA rabbit problem at the imaginary Masters MS/Tennis games not here in May 2017, before we insist on freeing any random Markus/Marcus again and making him a hot pink uk lawyer hanging ten.

Uh or. Someone please learn to not let your 'agents' believe any random AI generated 'character' left logged in on a public terminal is a thing to believe.
