I would guess the IDN ccTLDs would be a motivation for at least some, and the contact from ICANN asking who is likely to want a fast track IDN ccTLD was a consciousness raising exercise for others. Alan At 18/02/2009 02:46 PM, Rudi Vansnick wrote:

Dear friends,

For some reason many ccTLD's not being member of the ccNSO are now signing up (in a hurry) to the ccNSO. Somehow I think I'm missing somewhere a message or event that is important for ccNSO to be in good shape and have as many members as possible.

I'm going through every message and will try to find out the reason herefor.

Best regards,
