         New.net offers a number of "gTLDs" (including ".law") that are not 
recognized by ICANN.  They are not truly "g" because they are not truly 
global.  According to New.net, it is "encouraging millions of users to 
activate their Internet browsers to recognize New.net domain names and 
partnering with leading Internet Service Providers to activate our domain 
names automatically at the network level. We now have tens of millions of 
users that have access to New.net domain names, and we are confident that 
New.net domain names will soon be recognized universally across the 
Internet."  (See http://www.new.net/about_us_mission.tp)

         How successful this alternative system will be remains to be seen.
