  Very good Robert!  At least one of you MOUvment folks (Read bowl 
mvement) have the honesty to answer difinitively.

  Now the next question is;  What constitutes a "Generic TLD"?

                A) Any TLD with 3 or less characters
                B) all TLD's placed on the IANA's root
                C) Any and all TLD' that the gTLD-MoU/CORE-MoU
determines
                D) All the above (A,B,C)

Place your answer here:_________
