rejection (so far) of Policy Advisory Councils by ICANN -- as ALAC has proposed -- has not helped matters from a public-interest PoV.
The ALAC proposal (as I understood it) didn't guarantee the public interest either. For example, in the case of .pharmacy, it would have allowed any dodgy cross-border outfit selling drugs without a license to get a seat on the TLDs PAC. In fact, there could be many such rogue pharmacies "stacking" such an Advisory Council. BTW, .pharmacy already has an Advisory Group in place. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
