Muslims already had their pants in a knot over ICANN....
“ICANN’s handling of the .Islam and .Halal applications is at once an egregious assault on the new gTLD program rules, and a betrayal of whatever trust Muslims around the world might have had in ICANN.”
Posters comment:
The GAC is looking for applicants to resolve irresolvable conflicts and in avoiding any hint of conflict is effectively giving narrow interests veto power in a number of strings.... Asking for ‘global validation’ in an extremely broad group of strings is essentially asking applicants to be able to do what governments themselves cannot begin to do,.... agree on a global standard for any of a number of classes of string.
Look for .Internet Caliphate soon.
