Re: [registrars] RE: PDP Dec 05: Reserved Names Working Group: response needed

["Marcus Faure" <faure@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

while I can see that damage has already been done, this should not
mean we deliberately increase the level of damage. The cc.com business
relies on confusing users and leaves them in the hands of a commercial
institution with no oversight, hence I see this as counterproductive
to the development of the DNS. I therefore suggest to stay with the
current restrictions and moreover ask to have the effect of cc.com
registrations on us investigated. 

Yours,
Marcus
