staff's plan to implement council's new gtld recommendations (and throw in a few recommendations of their own)

[Robin Gross]

Hi gang,

It is pretty clear no new gtlds will ever get through this maze of
restrictions.

No "subversive propaganda", criticism of religion, "incitement to non-
violent lawless action", etc. etc. in domain names.

Staff received a letter from GAC asking for special protections for
IGO's, so staff decided to include that too (even though Council did
not recommend this and indeed voted against a PDP to create new
rights for IGOs at our last mtg).

Possibly in Oct. the board will approve a RFP on the implementation
plan.

Read it and weep.....
