There has been cross constituency participation all along and none of the gNSO work is binding on ccNSO or ccTLDs in any way. However perspective often helps. And, nothing could be further from the desirable than shutting down discussion about something like this on any list. Gabi, as I can't post the Council list, please post it there. el On 2012-10-30 18:47 , Sabine Dolderer wrote: Hello Gabi, we received a couple of invitations to gTLD related policy developements during the last couple of weeks "to the ccTLD Community to join a policy wg of the gNSO" and I am not sure what the intended status is or the result can be.
From my understanding the ccNSO has no role whatsoever with regard to gTLD policy developement nor it has a mandate to represent the ccTLD Community as a whole. In the consequence - even if we find volunteers - the ccTLD Community cannot join. I would suggest to clarify this to our collegues from the gNSO.
Nevertheless each individual ccTLD Manager can of course choose to participate in gTLD policywork on behalf of their individual organisation but to avoid further misunderstandings I would advice not to use this list for that discussions. Best Sabine
