[governance] ICANN stumbling on a hornet nest

Only 4 comments on average per application?

Internet lawyers and consultants have a growth market here clearly.

And sure igcers should file comments early and often.

Juliet:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)<http://www.enotes.com/romeo-text/act-ii-scene-ii#rom-2-2-45>

Summary of Relevance<http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/what-s-name-that-which-we-call-rose>

"Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet meet and fall in love in Shakespeare's lyrical tale of "star-cross'd" lovers. They are doomed from the start as members of two warring families. Here Juliet tells Romeo that a name is an artificial and meaningless convention, and that she loves the person who is called "Montague", not the Montague name and not the Montague family. Romeo, out of his passion for Juliet, rejects his family name and vows, as Juliet asks, to "deny (his) father" and instead be "new baptized" as Juliet's lover. This one short line encapsulates the central struggle and tragedy of the play."


Clearly there are people squabbling over generic names, yes the "g" in gTLD is "generic" which means "Characteristic of or relating to a class or group". It would be great for those who have issues or comments to make them where they matter in terms of impact which is https://gtldcomment.icann.org/comments-feedback/applicationcomment/login

The new Application Comment Window has been extended to an additional 45 days which means it's open for comments till the 26th September, 2012.

Wasn't that expected? And what about health and charity and city and rugby and other absurdly broad TLDs like that.

I guess they're pretty much obliged to tread the fine line, and get scratched on both sides. This won't be the end of it.
