[ NNSquad ] Re: Got $55K to spare for ICANN? 

  [ Thanks Seth.  I'm sitting here trying to think of the right
    words to describe the passion shown in the latter three videos
    that you list below.  I'll just say that this is important viewing
    for anyone concerned about domain names, trademarks, and the 
    intersection of the two.  This is also YouTube showing its
    public interest value in clear terms indeed.

Hi Lauren --

The gTLD "Implementation Recommendation Team" (IRT) did a tour of
various cities presenting their plans, starting this past summer,
including NYC.  You can find their summary of their proposals,
mostly dealing with trademark questions, here:

Here you can find the questions I posed to them, which it sounds
to me like you will find intriguing:

Kathy Kleiman has been a leader in public interest advocacy at
ICANN for years -- here are her comments:

And the irrepressible Jay Sulzberger elicited the line of the day
from the IRT panel: "We don't exist":

Also see John Berryhill and Phil Corwin in the related videos list.
