Hi,

I do not expect NCSG support on this particular comment, but figured I should copy it to the group in any case.

> Various comments have been submitted indicating problems with the Morality and Public Order Objection (section 3.4.3).  As I believe it would either require a reversal of  GNSO Recommendation 6 or a supermajority decision of the ICANN Board of Directors to remove this objection from the Application guide, I will not address the existence of the objection itself in this comment.

> On the assumption that a MAPO Objection may remain in the Application guide, I do want to address the narrowness of the Incitement clause, which currently states:
> 
> "Incitement to or promotion of discrimination based upon race, color, gender, ethnicity, religion, or national origin; "
> 
> It should be rewritten to include, at least, disability, and actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity and should be modified to read: 
> 
> "Incitement to or promotion of discrimination based upon race, color, gender, disability, actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity,  ethnicity, religion, or national origin;"
