<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I would like to point out that Model 3 is completely illogical. If the growth of the name space results in a proportional increase in
DNS abuse, then it means that the addition of new gTLDs has no effect on the overall rate of abuse. Therefore, the safeguards are effective and there should be no presumption against adding new TLDs.
<o:p></o:p></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Currently Model 3 says if there is a null effect it means the safeguards are ineffective. This is nonsense. It presumes that we can’t add new TLDs unless it somehow
results in the secular rate of abuse <i>going down</i> <i>across the entire name space, including legacy TLDs</i>. This is like saying that if the growth of the internet results in a proportional increase in cybercrime, then we should stop adding people to
the internet. It isn’t logically justified – and it isn’t fair to those who are not already on the internet, is it?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I hope everyone on that committee from NCSG understands that the IPR constituency and some in the BC have always opposed name space expansion and will search
for any excuse and any reasons to block the expansion of the name space. And in many respects, these people are arguing against the expansion of the internet itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

this report</a>, therefore; all members are encouraged to review the draft and make any comment or suggestion by tomorrow september 19th (ideally - as the original deadline) or not later than thursday (we are trying to posptone the deadline to Friday).<o:p></o:p></p>

The report is under the review of the CCT Review Team which will use it as input to evaluate the effectiveness of the nine safeguards techniques to mitigate DNS abuse following the introduction of the new gTLDs.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
