I agree and support Milton's and Avri's version, particularly in view of the very tight time frame the PDP will take place in.

That is a more objective, well-defined and less open-ended objective and can be completed in a reasonable period of time. Therefore, I am asking for your support so that Avri and I can legitimate tell the Drafting Team that NCUC/NCSG support the first version of Objective 5. Of course.  Our point was always to set in place a coherent and reasoned framework to replace decision making based on staff fiat, not to slow down new gTLDs.   Bill
