is helpful in dispelling the now-old fashioned notion that ICANN should have a right to censor allegedly generic term + a domain name infrastructure element (such as . or .com). This has nothing to do with the secure and stable operation of the Internet and
is just a means to ensure that the old business model of ICANN selling second level registrations (on which it profits) remains the primary business model.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333300">Paul, I don’t think we are talking about whether ICANN can “censor” something you call a “pre-trademark”. I’m familiar with the arguments made before the
Supreme Court in relation to whether booking.com was capable of acquiring secondary meaning to consumers or not. (It apparently did acquire such secondary meaning. It was not the term, booking, alone that acquired the meaning, ( It turned out the trademark
office interpretation of .com added to a generic was not particularly relevant.) I don’t think this somehow means that an application for a Closed Generic TLD must be delegated for the purpose of allowing the applicant to develop acquired secondary meaning
over time after delegation. Is that your argument? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

not ICANN can censor pre-trademarks. There was a fundamental shift this morning in this area of the law. The WG needs to take that on board.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

at this time. Many are dead set against Closed Generics period, the end and others have not provided convincing cases showing a demonstrated public interest. So there is no WG Consensus. To some, that means it’s a “free-for-all” and they may be prepared
to sue ICANN to prove their Closed Generic application does, in fact, serve a public interest. Some WG members end up saying “The Board will have to decide” while as to other issues, they say “The Board can’t make policy, only the GNSO makes policy”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in fact there was much discussion on the calls and chat about how “ban” does not apply. There were three options: (1) make a change to non-exclusive access, (2) maintain & defer to the next round, or (3) withdraw. Is there a way to make that section reflect
the actual facts before we have to undertake the so-called “can’t live with” exercise? The way it is written now essentially takes the starting position of the part of the WG that wants to censor closed generics and implies everyone agrees with it. That isn’t
the case. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
