Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] a starter-list of Harms

[Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mikey, one of the potential VI harms that was discussed earlier but 
does not seem to be in your list is a large registrar who is also an 
RSP applying pressure to prospective Registries to use their back-end 
services or the registrar will not carry the TLD (or will not feature it).
I don't know to what extent this is an issue, but it was discussed in 
earlier meetings looking at the competition studies.
