[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Brief Paper - Closed Generic Viewpoint

[mail@christopherwilkinson.eu CW]

Dear Kurt:  Thankyou. There is no doubt much that could be said in response to your Brief Paper, (should the Co-Leads find time for us to do so). Suffice for the moment to refer only to your first paragraph that:

>  …all other strings would be freely permitted as legitimate and innovative uses.

I must say that from my point of view that concept will prove to be a massive problem for the DNS and ICANN going forward. I do not support it.

1.  ICANN has only just begun to explore the implications on any scale in English. 
2.  I expect that there will be significant push-back as the DNS expands into other scripts and languages.
3.  There are already concerns that on the basis of that AGB statement, geographical names - at all levels - are inadequately protected by ICANN.

Just a few thoughts,

Regards

Christopher

While Paul McGrady generally agrees with the document, he is travelling and couldn’t dedicate sufficient attention to the document to formally sign on to it.

As always, this is not as complete, succinct, and clear as we would like it to be and would be pleased to discuss the thinking behind it in any forum.
