Re: [ga-roots] Re: New gTLDs

"I understand that ICANN will soon consider new procedures to evaluate the
current top level domain name program, including a potential timeline for
the selection of new or previously proposed TLDs. I applaud you for
undertaking this exercise. Competition and innovation would be well served
by a wider choice of TLDs."

Sounds to me like they are trying to use the phrase "previously approved
TLDs" to suggest first use, when in fact they are not approved or
pre-approved at all and were rejected.
