Hi, I agree with the reply, However, if the issue of protected names and 'Strings Ineligible for Delegation' (the category created by BoardStaff for this round) is ever opened up to discussion and to policy process at a later time, then I beleive the special status given any name other than "example", should be reviewed as part of that exercise. For this round, the issue of reserved names was discussed as part of the New gTLD PDP and in my opinion any changes would require another PDP. avri On 4 Mar 2012, at 17:28, Evan Leibovitch wrote:
Hi Elizabeth,
The proposed statement is specifically to deal with the after-the-fact changing of the Applicant Guidebook regarding two specific organizations. The more general question of "why are all names in the reserved list there?" is well beyond its scope and long past useful debate.
