I may be old and thick headed here but I agree. We start with who and what we want to protect, then figure out how we protect that. Then we go to design, and in both beta mode and in implementation we run continuous impact assessments, probably building up a pile of case law and legislation in the process - as well.....maybe....also better registrar and registry agreements. If we are going to design, measure, evaluate and learn, we have to get  specific about what we are trying to protect.

if someone is interested, to see who is writing it, and what is the EU-funded project on that.


Best wishes,
