Active as in a page there which is active and is updated on a regular basis.


Policing can be automatic. If a page hasnt been updated since 1997 then it's

almost certainly a ghost site and not being used. The name holders should

then be notified electronic and by post and, if there is not a response, the

name should return back to the fold. 


www.webslave.com for example!

new proposed domains such as .web should be introduced.
