RE: [council] Motion regarding New gTLDs
Chuck
Point taken but technician hat still gives me some nerves about the initial
wave of new TLDs coinciding with the IDN release.
Take care

Yes Terry, I believe it is. Because of the pent up demand for IDN TLDs, I
believe that the first to market will have a huge competitive advantage.
Considering the fact that GNSO registrants subsidize the ccNSO and the fast
track process, I think it would be wrong to do so to the detriment of GNSO
registrants. One example: In the case of IDN ccTLDs, if a global company
wants to protect its brand, it would have to register in every IDN ccTLD; it
would be much more effective to register an IDN gTLD.
