It may be of interest that the ALAC is in the
process of ratifying a statement on string
confusion. You can find it at https://community.icann.org/x/1AuMAg.
The Board is holding a workshop at the end of
next week, and I would be surprised if they did
not discuss at least the .com/.cam situation, so comments *may* be timely.
