However, in substantive terms I wish to raise some caution regarding your 
suggestion that we are merely "improving the implementation" of the MAPO 
recommendation. The US government has (in legally correct terms) called the 
whole construct into question by pointing out that MAPO provides a basis for 
states to _except_ themselves from recognizing trademarks or permitting 
information flows. There is no generally accepted standard of morality and 
public order that can be used on a positive basis to determine which TLD 
strings are or are not acceptable.

Therefore the task we face is more complex that you suggest. This must be 
reflected in the terms of reference.
