<p>While your message is clear Aslam, I would set the boundaries rather differently:</p>
<p>Either ICANN's policy development process is able to come up with a Domain Name policy that is "consistent" over all categories and for all areas (1st and 2nd level, brands, ccTLD mangers, pure unrestricted generics, GeoNames, communities, highly restricted sectors, and whatever other sub-segmenet you may want to include) or somebody else will do it for us.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>For there is no weaker Achilles heel in policy making, than inconsistency over time.</p>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">It is also a reminder of the level of bullying that some governments are capable of doing in this space and their disregard for the legitimate rights of others to use words in the DNS. This is a serious concern -- to see such little regard for the freedom of expression rights to use words with a geographic meaning. Absent an actual internationally agreed legal rule that holds people can't use the word "France" or other words with geographic meanings, it would be a huge mistake for ICANN to adopt such an anti-innovation and pro-censorship position in domain name policy as demanded by some govts here.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">Great, lets keep it limited. But thanks Greg for reminding us where we can end up.. some supported two-letter second level domain names that correspond to cctlds to go to governments and cctld managers in new gtlds. Some of those were generic pronouns like in and it. But no one had mercy on generic names and no justifiable reason was given other than oh governments own everything when it comes to their cctld... or at least can claim ownership. The irony? Some of those cctld managers are actually private companies benefiting handsomely from this. </div>
