RE: [council] Item 2 NC agenda

Title: Message

I am opposed to this, especially the first paragraph which would totally exclude the geographic names.

 

Once begun, there could be "mission creep".

 

If countries wish to register their names, that is, governments, let them attempt to do so in the sunrise period, and make a case with WIPO.

 

This is an example of regulation which interferes with private business.

 

Finally, official sites in ccTLD gould be under .gov.xx  or .info perhaps  .gov.xx.info

 

for example   Tokyo.gov.jp  or  Tokyo.gov.jp.info
