LISTSERV - NCSG-DISCUSS Archives

I said these governmental objections were a bad idea when they were first proposed 4-5 years ago. Now we are seeing why they are such a bad idea. Chilling effect on speech and also used as another bite at the apple for IP interests with never-ending complaints of needing more IPR privileges. And these objections about "generic" word TLDs - that is just a govt picking one business model over others. I wonder how much it cost those businesses to persuade a govt to object to their business competitor based on "public interest" concerns. What a joke...
