This is indeed a very interesting case. With serious trade
implications, not to mention health and safety issues. <br>
Was it discussed here at IGF? I must admit it is hard to navigate,
there are so many sessions.<br>

This is late in coming, but connecting IG to your area of work
directly, you may want to say something about how allocation of
.health tld to a group that talks about 'safe drugs' which as
you know is also US pharma's code word for US IP law complaint
drugs impacts access to health and medicines related rights of
people...<br>
<br>
The owners of the .health are going to actually police this tld
and it wont be just an open tld that anyone can use.... This is
a big set back to public interest in this area, which highlights
why ICANN requires public interest oversight, which is really
effective and which related to global public interest..<br>

<div>I would suggest that IGF 2015 gets revitalized, both in
terms of format and dynamics, also building into previous
innovative and creative ways of online public consultations
to include people outside IG community... </div>
