They recommend to their 15,000+ customers to block all listed TLDs (report attached). Most of these are new gTLDs.<br> <br>There are implications for universal acceptance. This will result in some discussion at the upcoming UA Coordination Summit in Horsham tomorrow and Friday. The summit will have a conference bridge for anyone interesting in participating.
