[At-Large] News on the .health TLD allocation

[Antony Van Couvering]

PICs were "voluntary."

Minds + Machines' PICs don't have that out clause, but Donuts' do. There is no standardization.  The PICs were not required, although it was strongly suggested that those who did not volunteer might be drafted, so to speak.  Moving goal posts, as always with ICANN.
