For those now suggesting that the topic is "moot", then you should be in support of ICANN eliminating the requirement (i.e. at best you'd be indifferent), i.e. you should be supporting Jeremy's proposal, as it would simplify the ICANN new gTLD process/guidebook, etc., and would be one less policy for overworked volunteers to review every 5 or 10 or 20 years, etc. In other words, if the topic is "moot", why aren't you backing Jeremy's proposal to eliminate it? It's nonsensical to me to see an argument on the one hand that the topic is "moot" because registries will still implement it, but then support its continuation as a *mandated* ICANN policy requirement. If we have consensus to support Jeremy's proposal now, I would certainly not oppose moving on to other topics. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
