[CPWG] Google pushes .zip and .mov domains onto the Internet, and the Internet pushes back

[Khaled Koubaa]

I noticed that your first goal focuses on the future round of gTLDs, and
the second focuses on the .zip. Does this mean we shouldn't look at the
existing TLDs?
I said the focus should not be the .zip to avoid the risk of omitting the
other extension-TLDs - the risk associated with them - and not to diminish
the risk associated with .zip
