Board asking GNSO to sit with GAC for a framework for closed generics!

[Kathy Kleiman]

I agree Farzi, this is a very strange idea. For over half a decade, two 
major PDPs have been rushed so that we could get to more rounds of New 
gTLDs.  Now we have to wait for a new PDP to resolve one small issue - 
is it truly that they only gTLDs want is the generic word of their 
business or industry. Is that what new rounds of gTLDs are all about?

That's think hard about this...

Best, Kathy
