[registrars] RE: PDP Dec 05: Reserved Names Working Group: response needed

[Ross Rader]

I don't believe that we need policy in this area at this time. The 
number of reservations and the size of the "problem" are both small 
enough that continuing to pursue this in an ad hoc manner between ICANN 
staff and the registry in question seems appropriate. Until it can be 
demonstrated that there are security or stability issues, I believe 
ICANN's policy community should continue to focus its efforts in areas 
where there is clear harm as a higher priority.
