Dear PAB,

There is a discussion, started in CORE, now moved into POC, about how long
second-level domains should be. This is precisely the kind of issue that
the PAB should be debating -- a policy issue concerning the new domains.
Thanks to Javier for alerting me.

The question is:

Should single-character domains be allowed under the new gTLDs? The hot
question is really concerning single-character SLDs. Is there any
technical reason they should be disallowed?

How about two-character SLDs? Where and why should we draw limits.

Thanks for your participation.

Antony
