[NCSG-PC] [NCSG-Discuss] Draft Input to the Initial Report SubPro

[Ayden Férdeline]

A lot of good work has gone into this comment, so thank you to those involved in drafting it. However I think it is not yet ready for submission. In the comments there have been some serious issues raised which I think need a response. I agree that there should be consistency in our comments, so if the position being taken today is different to the position that the NCSG has taken in the past, we need to talk about what has changed and why.

Best wishes, Ayden

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.
