Chuck,

Thanks for posting this.

Just so I am clear.

“RyC believes that a key means of avoiding this problem is to allow all manifestations of a given top level domain to be managed by a single entity.  This simple solution will also address the second issue: ensure that each TLD name always means the same thing.”

Which one(s) of the following is therefore true in the further explanation you (the RyC) have provided;

a. No one, other than Verisign, could have a TLD (ascii or IDN) that looks like .com

b. No one , other than Verisign, could have a TLD (ascii or IDN) that sounds like .com

c. No one, other than Versign, could have a TLD (ascii ot IDN) that means the same as .com

I think examples will help explain the RyC paper.

Thanks and see you later today (?)

Here's a statement developed by the RyC regarding New gTLD Recommendation 2, hopefully providing some new thoughts in that regard.
