[gnso-rap-dt] Problem resolution post rather than pre registration

[George Kirikos <icann+rap@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

There was an interesting article related to the recent controversy
over Sweden's .se CCTLD adding "bank" to a block list:

"To diverge from the democratic country norm of problem resolution
post rather than pre registration, and to do it for a common word and
name like 'Bank' is dangerous," Binero chief executive officer Anders
Aleborg said in a statement. "It makes it legally and logically
plausible for many groups to lobby for scrutinizing an unforeseeable
number of other words and names pre-registration as well."

I believe that goes to the entire abuse topic, using a scalpel that
will minimize collateral damage vs. using a hatchet.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
