On the exchange of notes between Peter and Heather -- city names
Dear At-Large Colleagues, I've prepared a personal comment, reflecting my thoughts on the issue of city names, and sent it to Board Chair Peter Dengate-Thrush and GAC Interim Chair Heather Dryden. It is attached. As a reminder, the public comments period for the current version of the DAG closes on December 10th, at 7am Eastern, 4am Pacific, just before the Friday Board meeting that week. I regret that the letter is only in English, as the intended recipients are both Anglophones, however the issue concerns those who anticipate that urban administrations will in the near future have the resources allocated by ICANN which are currently allocated only to states, some non-states, and a score of for-profit and non-profit corporations and foundations. Attached is also a reformatted version of Thomas Brinkoff's list of 479 urban agglomerations with populations of one million or more. The original may be found at http://www.citypopulation.de This note was originally sent to the NA-Discuss list, with only the first of two attachments, due to the familiarity NA-Discuss list members have with the urban agglomerations of that region.

I'm minded to supporting this restriction pending better and/or further particulars. For I would be troubled were Kingston to be in such contention down the way.
