With Nominet dealing with this in the UK as well, it's clear that there is
common ground between ccNSO and GNSO here. However, I am concerned that cc
delegates may be more easily influenced by censorship-happy governments and
that this might leave us with less protection for freedom of speech in the
generic name space than we might otherwise have.
