You are correct. I do have a conflict of interest in terms of my affiliation which is why I’ve not authored any proposals myself. But I think that having different points of view on the table helps build a solution that could be better than any single one, but please don’t disqualify me because of it.

This is what I would like to quantify. Those people are probable already in a digital squalor and they don’t know it. How can we improve that situation?

I’m not discarding the DITL, it’s one good slice, but there is more that we don’t see, perhaps you have access to more information and have a more complete picture of it via DNSDB and other systems?

Perhaps there is a more room for additional studies / data and analysis ?

There is risk in not doing anything as well, how do balance it?

I trust your judgement and respect your contributions, that’s not in question, I'm not against reserving some TLDs for local use (said it in my first email), my main concern is creating the illusion that by reserving those TLDs, we’ve solved the problem and create a false sense of safety. This is a multi-variable/multi-dimensional complex system, where there are pieces that neither IETF and ICANN have control of.
