Yes, interesting. On closed generics, isn't their discussion like, maybe, five years too late? Sure the AG indicates the process can be changed after-the-fact, but this (the private registrability od generic words) is a MAJOR point of philosophy, and both IMO too late to change and massively subject to lawsuits if it's attempted. And then there's this gem: *"Many of the Board members will be uncomfortable approving TLDs that are seen as a land grab, as opposed to expansion of the DNS"* The suggestion that a distinction ought to (or even can) be drawn between the two concepts, at this time, is ... charming. - Evan
