[governance] Re: New TLDs

[Michael Leibrandt]

Dear Bertrand,

Having a German academic background, I feel a somewhat natural symphathy for rules and categories. But the problem with TLD is that even within specific categories you will find some very distinct under-categories. To give you an example regarding City TLD: In Germany, some city names are protected as trademarks, some are not. So completely different rules would have to be aplied to proposals for .solingen or .buxtehude. 

With regard to the development of evaluation rules: Don't you think that for a specific set of possible TLD, Geo-TLD, the new GAC Principles do already contain some quite important and clear evaluation criteria (e.g. support of the relevant local authority)?
