Re: [gtld-council] Updated tables and next meeting timing

[Robin Gross <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Avri,

The NCUC proposal with respect to Rec. #20 is to narrow it to technical 
or LEGAL objections.   So valid legal claims opposing a string may 
proceed without over-burdening the decision making process and opening 
up subjective determinations or determinations that are contrary to 
law.  Objections based on laws (such as trademark, unfair competition, 
misrepresentation, fraud, etc.) would still be within the scope of 
reasons for objections, but ones entirely unfounded on legal rights 
would not clog up the process and inhibit innovation.
We are also concerned that established institutions are given priority 
to own generic words over start-up innovators who do not misrepresent 
themselves to the public.
Thanks,
Robin
