[ALAC] Google proposes to open its "closed generics"

[Evan Leibovitch]

Google has promised, in a letter to Fadi, that if it gets custody of
certain strings considered to be closed generics, it will make subdomains
under them publicly available. It probably will not, however, use the
traditional indirect channel of going through registrars.

This is exactly the kind of hybrid approach anticipated by the ALAC
statement on the issue, and why I believed it prudent not to reject the
concept out of hand.
