Fwd: [Soac-infoalert] Fwd: Governmental Advisory Committee - GAC Website (Main)

[Robin Gross]

I said these governmental objections were a bad idea when they were
first proposed 4-5 years ago.  Now we are seeing why they are such a
bad idea.  Chilling effect on speech and also used as another bite at
the apple for IP interests with never-ending complaints of needing
more IPR privileges.  And these objections about "generic" word TLDs
- that is just a govt picking one business model over others.  I
wonder how much it cost those businesses to persuade a govt to object
to their business competitor based on "public interest" concerns.
What a joke...
