[gnso-gac-closed-generics] "A Public Interest" v. "The Global Public Interest" - Question / Comment on Asynchronous Work #6

[Arnaud Franquinet]

Yes, Jeff. Thank you for your comment. I support. I wasn't comfortable with "The Global Public Interest".

I took a look at the Beijing note. In fact, it seems that the price of exclusivity is a public interest goal, and
yes it’s different from The Global Public Interest. But frankly, when I saw the list, I don't understand what
can be the public interest for .cruise or .game or .mobile or .shop... I'm not sure I understand what public
interest actually means in fact.
And we talk about exclusive access, is it the same as closed TLDs?

Discussions in perspective for next week !
Arnaud

In the GAC’s formal advice in Beijing (April 2023) the GAC advised: “For strings representing generic terms, exclusive registry access should serve a public interest goal.”  Seehttps://gac.icann.org/advice/communiques/Beijing%20Communique%20april2013_Final-ar.pdf

> The Advice mentions “a public interest goal.”  I view that as VERY different that serving “the Global Public Interest”.  It is very possible (at least in my mind) that an application for a closed generic may serve a public interest goal without serving “the Global Public Interest.”  In other words, a closed generic my support a local public interest goal or the public interest of one particular country, etc. but when viewed on a Global Scale may not qualify.
