I think it also demonstrates how bad policy can evolve out of trying to create quick fix solutions only perceived as necessary as a result of other unrelated flawed approaches.
Not good – someone should have been on top of this.
Only 4 comments were made during the public comment period (including one by me): https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-igo-ingo-protection-17may17/2017q3/d... https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-igo-ingo-protection-17may17/2017q3/0... I did point out that generic terms such as "Rare" and "Mosaic" were on the draft list and said: "ICANN should consult with the GNSO *and* the public before adding additional names to the list, to ensure that shorter domain names that have multiple competing uses (e.g. generic dictionary words, acronyms, etc.) are not added to the list." but the implementation working group ignored that input.
