<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Agree, this is a really interesting discussion topic. In my mind it adds more questions and cautious considerations around the complexities of trying to stretch the public interest framework around ‘specific groups’…
especially when you consider the existing models of community TLDs and restricted/verifiable TLDs.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Nonetheless, the community objection model gives a good frame of reference and precedent for how to build in some safeguards during the application process. A cornerstone of any closed generic framework will have to include
some type of objection mechanism (and obviously some clear guidance for applicants and assessment criteria).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Thank you for this Kathy. But the criteria you have given are for "Community TLDs" which is not synonymous with a closed generic. If a community wanted to operate for the benefit of that community, it would not need
this new "closed generic" category. It would simply apply as a community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">If your use case is that the US Polo Association that applied as a community for .polo said it represents the entire polo community, but it will only allow registrations by the US Polo Association members and no one else,
then that in theory could be a "Closed Generic", but by definition it would fail a community analysis because the eligibility requirements for a string are not reasonably related to the community (which is polo in general). Stated another way, operating
as closed generic does not benefit the community necessarily, but rather benefits the organization and its users (which may be some of the community, but not all).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

those other services. I set up my family tree on neuman.familytree and I grant access to whomever I want to be able to see my data, but also where applicable to import portions of my family tree into theirs and I can export their family tree data into mine.
So my aunt/uncle/cousins whose last name is Lynn has Lynn.familytree where I can find their data and import the potions that relate to my family tree. Domain Names are only owned by my company that licenses the use of the .familytree domain names to paid
