R: [GTLD-WG] IMPORTANT: At-Large Objection Statements posted for RALO review - deadline for RALO advice to ALAC is March 5 2013
by Roberto Gaetano March 1, 2013

March 1, 2013

I am in general agreement with Christopher about closed generics. In particular, considering the deadline for RALO advice on the objection about the 5 different .heath applications and Chinese translation thereof, I support the objection statements.
