I am a little put off by this proposal. If the IOC and Red Cross are allowed as philanthropic organizations to grab second level domains, who is to judge which second level domains should be protected? Why shouldn't <span lang="fr">Médecins Sans Frontières be accorded this status? What about Jimmie's Little League Fund raising organization? It would seem that if approved future petitions would be harder to reject by the GAC as the structure for exception would have been created.<br>
<br></span>As detailed in the appendix of the GAC Proposal numerous laws and legislation exist regarding the Red Cross and the IOC's brand. As these laws exist I would prefer to see these organizations use them instead of trying to fundamentally twist internet governance to their whim. The existing TLD's have functioned without this kind of "more equal" status accorded to organizations and should stay as such.<br>
