  • Thread-topic: Motion to Support Rec6 CWG

It was suggested to me that it would be a good idea to document our support for 
the community working group that the GAC requested to discuss new gTLD 
recommendation 6 on morality and public order.  In follow-up to that 
suggestion, I am making the following motion.
