<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I had a look at the document. I abstain from approving it and here are my reasons:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">While I believe in free market, innovation and everything else that Robin and others claim should be in registries business model and they think closed registries can bring that about and I believe that top level domain names are property after allocation, I think having closed generics and restricted brand registries by default can lead to the politicization of the domain space even further. I don't even agree with having criteria set by ICANN for community TLDs. I believe it might have made sense to support closed generics then, but the result is clear. We now have a much stronger GAC to deal with in Geo names, we have public interest related to each and every topic we discuss. And saying not to conflate trade mark with closed generic without providing a reason how they are different (I have read emails, transcripts etc) does not make sense to me. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I support not allowing closed generics but allowing any other business model in registries in favor of not politicizing the domain space. It might be too late. but that is my opinion.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"
