For example, RFC 1591 includes a lot of language around gTLDs and language that has become obsolete with respect to ccTLDs. ● Unaddressed identified issues – Over time situation have emerged and been identified that are not addressed in policies or agreed upon practices ● Emerging issues that have never been contemplated.
