[wg-c] chartered tlds

[Rick H Wesson <wessorh@ar.com>]

I think we have experenced what market forces do to chartered gTLDs. we
should observe that the (g) in gTLDs stands for generic. I also strongly
believe that chartering is moot without making specific provisions for
repremanding registries that don't follow the charter.

I doubt that anyone wants to set up the provisions for monitering and
management of the oversight that would be required for enforceing the
charters.

remember the registries have an incentive to register domains, just look
at how registries now suggest registering in all available gTLDs and
ccTLDs. 

it is with these thoughts that I believe we should stay focused on simple
*generic* TLDs that don't get bogged down in the administration of the
TLD, but that provide new *generic* TLDs with out restriction and
qualification of the registrant.
