I mean what category of applicants will start to feel the positive impact of our recommendation? The answer is that SDNs are a very small number of people who are singled out for sanctions (e.g., a known war criminal), whereas most sanctions apply to all nationals of the sanctioned country; e.g. all registrars, all registry applicants and all domain name registrants. So there is a huge improvement if sanctions are removed from ordinary domain name registrants but a few SDNs are excepted.
