[At-Large] What ALAC said about new gTLDs in 2003

[Antony Van Couvering]

"ALAC supports an expansion of the gTLD namespace that allows both sponsored and unsponsored names.  We understand that the current proposed RFP limited to sponsored TLDs, is suggested as a continuation of the "Proof of Concept" testbed.  First, therefore, we offer suggestions for making this limited expansion more equitable.  We further urge ICANN to move quickly beyond "testing" to more open addition of a full range of new gTLDs in the near future..."
