I trust the following concept and proposal ( based on his PhD thesis) by a fellow Director of mine in auDA, (incedently an Org Member of the Australian ALS, ISOC-AU) sent to the gtld-guide list, may be found interesting, informative and useful to many of you... Should the community or RALO's / ALAC ever desire to discuss his research work and outcomes further with him, I am more than happy to arrange a briefing call or oportunity for presentation at a meeting...

Dear Cheryl, could you (Josh?) elaborate on this proposition in terms of proposed @large actions and how they could articulate with the present ICANN naming money rather than user/semantic oriented strategy. As you may know I am involved for three decades in international naming and numbering spaces and engaged now in the next step (semantic addressing). So this matter is certainly of importance. Moreover from another member of the "activist union of Dominant Australians". I agree with Josh that naming is a part of the brain to brain semantic interface. It is therefore to be in harmony with what we know on the way the brain works, the first thing being that there is not two identical brains, nor even two brains structured and working in the same way. I must say I am surprised that he does not allude to ages, language, natural and personal languages, and cultures. Different cultures and different languages (down to socio- and idiolects) are in this case to be considered as different brands, types, or even kinds of semantic interfaces, with considerable potential differences and semiotic signals concerning the expected kind of mental agility. Is there a place on-line where to access his thesis? I went on his site but the PDF there seems to have an access problem. Cheers. jfc
