The GAC Beijing advice use the former term, but with the new Bylaws following the Accountability exercise and the more recent Board Global Public Interest Framework, the focus has moved towards considering the Global public interest.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our group is clearly divided on how to proceed.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">During the Washington F2F meeting, Alan Barrett suggested something that seemed a very appropriate compromise. Specifically (if I got it right) that a closed generic TLD needed to satisfy A public interest, but that it must not go against the Global public interest.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;
