What are the overarching issues?
The overarching issues are a set of key issues identified by community comment during the Applicant Guidebook public comment periods. These issues are: (1) Trademark Protection; (2) Potential for Malicious Conduct; (3) Security and Stability: Root Zone Scaling ; (4) TLD Demand and Economic Analysis . In order to address each of these issues, ICANN has engaged experts from each area to assist in identifying workable solutions.
