[ga-icann] On Bill's post about ICANN


Hypothetical situation apllying to the approval of new TLDs.
 
An organization such as the DNSO or the GA or another organization that does not yet exist would first handle new TLD applications to decide their marketability, potential conflicts in recognition from a non-technical standpoint, usability, and end-user satisfaction, among other criteria. Once approv ed by this body, it would then go to ICANN and it's SOs to review the technical aspects of the introduction of the new TLD.
 
ICANN could not refuse an approved TLD unless it would definitely threaten the stability of the Internet or create some other technical problem such as length, characters it contains, or other problems.
 
I see this as viable. Anyone else?
