Here's comment from the .bg ccTLD: Veni, My comment on this is short: Anyone who has come to a new market, can claim anything. You know this better than many. The reality is, that although policies of Register.BG may not be perfect, they are the result of our now 17 years of operation as an TLD registry. Even if some of the restrictions in place are not popular, they in fact reflect the reality in Bulgaria and the constraints by existing laws and common practices. The same is valid for any other registry in any other country (not counting the commercial registries). Register.BG has always considered the stability and good standing to be more important that commercializing the BG TLD and this has as direct implication the reduced number of domains registered in BG. The quoted numbers are however wrong, with BG registrations underestimaed and non-BG registrations exagerated. Register.BG has always followed the developments of the TLD services, as well as introduced new revolutionary services over the years. Today, TLD registries do not design policy and invent services on their own, but rather cooperate both within their constituency, as well as with great many external policy making bodies. It is our understanding, that "the incumbent country code registry" has the best possible knowledge of what is proper to do in order to provide stable naming of subjects in Internet. Which is the primary reason for existence of the registry, not the desire to make more money fast. This is why, in part Register.BG advocates the fast track implementation of IDN TLDs. Register.BG is well prepared to implement Bulgarian IDN TLD, both technically and in with proper policy to encourage mass deployment. Daniel At 08:17 19.12.2007 -0800, Danny Younger wrote:

P.S. from Veni. Putting this note on the internetgovernnace.org web site alone is an interesting thing.
