<div>the fact is that neither ICANN as an entity nor as a
policy community "decided" to give .health to these folks:<br>

<div>they applied for it, and received it according to the
Applicant Guidebook (which was developed by the policy
community, which you refuse to be a part of).<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Another fact is there is ZERO big pharma support to
.health, but really, carry on with your
counter-factual-ism, you will always find takers here it
seems!<br>

See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://infojustice.org/archives/31846">http://infojustice.org/archives/31846</a> about the Center for Safe
Internet Pharmacies- a major backer of .health and its relationship
with big pharma. <br>
<br>
And you of course know that GAC as well as WHO opposed delegation of
dot health. In this case even the independent Expert opposed it.
Also ALAC opposed it. <br>
<br>
As to what relationship The Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies has
with the Intellectual Property establishment of the US, and how safe
drug trade is very often just a code word for US Intellectual
Property law complaint global drug trade , see

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">There are endless such reports and
analyses on the Internet. Dot health is going to be policed as per
US drugs law and this clearly means that generic drug traders
should avoid this gltd, which such a outrage, clearly US calls the
shots with eh global DNS system and this is not at all acceptable.<br>
