Sabine,

I totally disagree.

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.

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
