[ #4 ] John Levine (http://forum.icann.org/lists/tralliance-
comments/msg00004.html) submitted the consensus position of the At
Large Advisory Committee. It is a very long set of comments and it
strongly urges ICANN to reject the proposal. Notably it argues that the
testbed TLDs should not be taken as precedent for new services in
other TLDs. The ALAC response also discusses the false ³success²
aspect of queries answered by a wildcard. The ALAC response also
spends a considerable amount of time on the impact of wildcards on
non-HTTP based applications.
