[council] Conclusions of gTLDs committee 6 Feb 2003
Jordyn,
I believe that we are free to explore versions of structure
(though do not recommend we do so in abstracto) and that the CEO and the
Board lean toward, as you identify "a taxonomic rationalization".
A taxonomic rationalisation is an objective and a a
pre-determined list is but one strategy to get there. On the call there was
support for (your proposal?) to not have a pre-determined list due to the
problems this would cause. An alternative strategy is to allow
sponsors/registries to propose a series of differentiated gTLDs. If each new
gTLD were differentiated to its predecessors, a market-driven taxonomy would
develop over time. If the committee like that idea, it is then the task to
define the criteria for differentiation.
