Hi gang, It is pretty clear no new gtlds will ever get through this maze of restrictions. No "subversive propaganda", criticism of religion, "incitement to non- violent lawless action", etc. etc. in domain names. Staff received a letter from GAC asking for special protections for IGO's, so staff decided to include that too (even though Council did not recommend this and indeed voted against a PDP to create new rights for IGOs at our last mtg). Possibly in Oct. the board will approve a RFP on the implementation plan. Read it and weep..... http://www.gnso.icann.org/correspondence/presentation-gnso-new- gtlds-09feb08.pdf Robin
