[gnso-rn-wg] Prohibited vs Reserved Names

["Patrick Jones" <patrick.jones@xxxxxxxxx>]

In response to several of the comments today on "prohibited" vs "reserved"
names, just to clarify that IANA/ICANN names are reserved, provided that if
ICANN/IANA or the related entities whose names are on reserve wanted to use
one of the names, those names could be registered by the requesting entity.
For example, ICANN registered and paid for the registration costs to
un-reserve ICANN.jobs. If ICANN wanted to use ICANN.info in the future, it
should be able to un-reserve the name.
