Annette, your citations are taken out of context, and made worse by 
poor wording on the slide. The heading of the list on slide 12 was 
"Examples of narrow exceptions under consideration: where to draw the line?".

 From discussion (transcript is or will be posted), it was clear that 
this list was a summary of the types of restrictions on free speech 
found in various national laws. It was clear that this total list was 
not what ICANN would use to screen gTLDs. Perhaps we may not be happy 
when we see what ICANN staff finally recommends to the Board, but it 
is unfair to characterize the list on the slide as such.

The title line could have been clearer.

Since I am not on all of these LAC, AFRI, APAC and EURO lists, I 
presume this message will bounce. I would appreciate it if you would 
forward this to them.

Alan
