There's an exercise in diplomatese; wrong or right, we're covered. Um well, reminds me of the talk at senior management meeting in my university. When one of the old bulls say "I have a concern' it means you can negotiate. When he says "I have a difficulty" you're dead in the water. Reading tea leaves.....

Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2012 06:53:28 +0000

Hello All,

For information the EU has created their own notices for new gTLD applicants.

"The Commission has identified a number of new gTLD applications which could possibly raise issues of compatibility with the existing legislation (the acquis) and/or the policy positions and objectives of the European Union."

"The presence of a new gTLD in the list is rather a signal that further discussions with the relevant applicant are necessary"

See attached for further information.

Regards, Bruce Tonkin
