REGISTRATION POLICY
This policy requires the registry to make sure that
the registrant has taken measures to ensure against
misrepresenting or falsely implying that the registrant or
its business is affiliated with the government.
We find this acceptable, however misrepresentation
should be interpreted narrowly. But the obligation that
the registrant not to falsely imply that it is affiliated
with the government is a sound approach which we support.

I don't want registry's to turn into content police or
judges of the intent of registrants. I recognise there is a
big push in ICANN, from the IPC, the GAC and others, to turn
Registries into de facto enforcement bodies. I think this is
something we should resist at any and every opportunity.
What are the criteria to be used concerning government
affiliation? Is this something we really want Registries to
decide?
With that small exception I fully endorse this comment. I
look forward to hearing what others have to say.
Thanks again, Frazi, for your hard work on this.
Kind Regards,
Ed Morris
