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

It seems to me the key issue is not whether a pharm. name can be registered in this TLD but whether pharmaceutical product can be offered to sell via that name around the world. Currently, this is definitely not the case. Those legitimate drugs meeting the regulatory or licensing rules in say NL may well be banned in many other countries. 
If this TLD will primarily focus on us market, it won't be very impactful to other countries .

I haven't checked the current documents, but at one point, they were saying that to register a domain, you had to meet the regulatory or licensing rules in your country of residence. That being said, the monitoring and supporting organizations they reference are largely US-oriented.
