Hi, In respect to the point made by Amr and Volker that Public Interest is hard because there are different viewpoints on it. I would like to point out that this is the case on many issues and that is pretty much the point behind multistakeholder processes - to figure out a consensus point, if any exists, on hard issues with multiple viewpoints. As for the current issue with generic strings, it is perhaps appropriate to take up the issue now to answer the issues so that the applications that are blocked can become unblocked. I do not believe we should leave the issue pending until the next PDP of possible subsequent rounds is completed. avri --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
