Greeting Joke, Please don't take this personally, but I object vehemently to the proposed Triage recommendation 34-2016. That the Triage committee could classify this as " Impact on ccNSO/ccTLDs: middle" frankly astounds me. This is arguably the most important issue regarding the relationship between ccTLDS and ICANN that has come before Council since the proposal to adopt the Final Report of the Framework of Interpretation Working Group and forward it on to the ICANN Board (who did adopt it as ICANN policy). The proposed contract which is posted for public comment needs to be seriously reviewed by the ccNSO Council, as well as the overall ccTLD Community, as its adoption will result in fundamental changes in the relationship between ccTLDs and ICANN / post-transition IANA (PTI) that need to be undersood and evaluated by the entire ccTLD Community prior to our Community's acceptance of the current contract language.
