as Co-Chair of the ccNSO-GNSO WG on the Use of Country and Territory Names (UCTN), I would like to inform that during our last call we had a short discussion on this response. Personally I consider that it still leaves room for interpretation on possible overlaps. While I don´t think the 4 Co-chairs have discussed it to the point to ask the GAC for clarification, I still consider it useful to request some time during tomorrows call, under AOB maybe, to inform you on the issues at hand.

Dear All

For your information, please find attached the response from the GAC to the letter from the GNSO and ccNSO Chairs in relation to the potential overlap between the CWG to develop a framework for the use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs (CCWG-UCTN) and the GAC Protection of Geographic Names Working Group.

Best regards,

Marika
