Re: [soac-mapo] We have the GAC's position

[Robin Gross <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like GAC is proposing a return to the "Dark Ages".

It is disappointing to see some governments' lack of commitment to  
freedom of expression values.   The GAC letter shows how ripe for  
abuse this MoPo objection policy is and how it will put ICANN in the  
middle of all sorts of political, religious, etc. disputes that ICANN  
would be wise to stay out of.
Best,
Robin
