> As it stands, they were already prohibited and this resolution reaffirms that.
Slight nitpick: they were prohibited only without prior ICANN approval (second whereas). Companies like Google attempted to get that approval (Google wanted "search"), which spurred ICANN into making a decision about what circumstances they would allow them. This decision essentially states ICANN won't approve any dotless domains.
