Guess asking CORE was appropriate :) I know your's isn't an official
voice Mark but it counts to me.

My reasoning wrt .arts was that I *thought* it was probably somewhere
in the middle popularity wise. Using the least, or even second least
popular gTLD is probably not a good idea. Using the most popular
seems dangerous as well. The registrars would have much greater
financial exposure if the USG were to shut CORE down.

The idea is to get something operational. Not to limit CORE to
one TLD as the GP would have it. Start with something in the middle
and add the rest as circumstances permit.

I think your other comments support pulling *any* policing policy
out of the charter.
