Very nice documents, many thanks to all involved in preparation. They represent a lot of useful work. What I extract from this is: Despite all the previous hand-wringing and prophecies of doom regarding closed generics -- and there was much of that -- for the most part they look to provide utility to end users and demonstrate a level of innovation not possible with the "open" TLDs. Most of the possible downsides mentioned are purely hypothetical ("what if?") in nature. My position taken ages ago, in support of closed generics from an end-user point of view despite significant community opposition, appears vindicated. Registrars and speculators, the largest source of complaints about inability to sell subdomains from closed TLDs. still have plenty of open ones from which to peddle. One suggestion: Since so much (worthy) effort went into this, I believe the names of author(s) and date of publication ought to be included in both docs.

Dear Chantelle Doerksen, Greetings and thank you for sharing the documents vide the trace of this mail. A domain name remains a purely technical resource. It has seldom been easy to apply a property right, be it intellectual or industrial. The holder of the domain name "has a right to use" & its provider" manages it more than it owns it". The volatility of domain names and their technical nature make them hard for the law to grasp. REAL CONCERN: When the domain name is not protected by a trademark right ? The table of Use Cases is a very good idea. Can we also mention the countries where the Closed Generic Use Case Described also has a legal protection if at all ?
