The US Govt submitted its comments to ICANN on the introduction of
new gTLDs.
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gtld-guide/msg00175.html
And the US Govt agreed with a point NCUC has been making throughout
this entire process. The US suggests ICANN "Focus on coordinating
technical functions related to the management of the DNS and not on
matters more appropriately addressed by governments, such as
adjudication of morality and public order and the community
objections in accordance with international human rights law. The
proposed mechanisms are inappropriate."
Interesting to say the least.
Best,
Robin
