Re: [opennic-discuss] I would like to add the zone .anonymous

The idea of "guaranteeing maximum anonymity" is
indeed somewhat naive in my opinion. Perhaps
the answer is in the word "maximum" which could
easily be a very low bar. However, the very
act of using OpenNIC domains does actually give
users a fair amount of anonymity compared to
using standard DNS.

Regarding something being stated, I didn't see
any charter, draft or otherwise, for this TLD.
