[At-Large] New gTLDs

[RJGlass | America@Large]

Yes, I think much more discussion on this issue is appropriate.  Well before
aproving additional gTLDs.  The IDNs and aliases I think are great
concerns.  With the issue of .nyc and .newyork, I think these could well be
2 applications, 2 operators.  Possibly the applicants of a TLD should have
to request aliases and IDN alternatives, but we are far from coming to a
consensus on these matters.

aloha,
