Hi,

The myth Cheryl refers is to is a notion that the GNSO said:

"one name per application"

While this was, to my recollection said, and I am one source of the 'myth'  and 
it was also a basis I can find in the IDN recommendations, it seems that it was 
never carried through to the final recommendations.

I am still following up to find where it was dropped, but it is clearly not in 
the GNSO's final recommendations.

Whether this was oversight, or was a trace of something that was never decided 
I am not sure - though I am sure it was my responsibility that it did not make 
it to the final report.  I note that Chuck does not remember us as having made 
that decision.
