PAB

The discussion has now enlarged...

Questions:

1) Should 1 letter characters be allowed as SLDs?

2) Should two letter country codes be allowed as SLD ? Should the country=
have priority in an ACP ?

3) Should generics be allowed ? Should CORE manage Third level domains under=
the most popular SLDs ?

My opinios are:

1) No

2) Yes. No.

3) Yes. No.
