[gtld-council] Regarding non-commercial interests in the gTLD market

[Schulman, Lori]

Pardon the typos in my posting of this morning.  I am my own worst proof
reader.   Along with my grammar errors, I noticed that I typed ISOC
instead of IOC.  Must have been a Freudian slip.

My long winded point is that we should at least consider that there may
be some trademarks that have such a high degree of global recognition
that it may be in the public's interest to ensure that any gTLD's that
employ those marks are controlled by the rights holder.  Otherwise, the
public may be misled.  Consumer protection is in the public interest.
