[ALAC] Google proposes to open its "closed generics"

Google has promised, in a letter to Fadi, that if it gets custody of certain strings considered to be closed generics, it will make subdomains under them publicly available. It probably will not, however, use the traditional indirect channel of going through registrars. This is exactly the kind of hybrid approach anticipated by the ALAC statement on the issue, and why I believed it prudent not to reject the concept out of hand. http://m.techcrunch.com/2013/03/09/if-it-gets-them-google-may-open-search-ap... - Evan (via mobile)
