All: I've taken Tony Holmes and Antonio Tavares' comments and tried to merge them into a new version of the document. A couple of changes: - I've stressed the need for sponsored gTLDs - I've put more detail in the IDN requirement (however, I left this as a "must") - I've accepted Tony's editorial additions - I've tried to address Antonio's concern about the semantics of obscure names by stressing that semantics are important in the evaluation of new gTLDs. - There were a couple of other minor corrections. I have to get this to the GNSO today, so last chance for any further comments . . . . mark -- Mark McFadden Internet, Wireless and Security Certifications University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Programs at: http://www.sce-it.uwm.edu Contact me: e: mcf@uwm.edu Y!IM: mcfadden AIM: McElmside
